Following the resignation of Neil Younger and his move to Commonwealth Financial Planning, BT Financial Group has hired Matt Englund to head dealer group operations.

Englund will lead the development and implementation of the group’s strategy to attract, develop and retain practices and advisers, said BT Financial Group’s general manager of advice, Mark Spiers.

Englund has more than 15 years experience in the financial services industry, including senior roles with Asgard Wealth Solutions and Colonial First State.

He has also headed up the practice management team in advice since the merger between Westpac and St George, where he led the development and delivery of dealer group services to Westpac Financial Planning, St George Financial Planning, Securitor and Magnitude.

“More recently, Matt has led our program of work to respond to the Future of Financial Advice reforms and provided valued input into our discussions with government on a number of key regulatory proposals,” Spiers said.

Spiers also thanked Younger for his role in BT’s advice team.

Warren Dunne, national head of operations — advice, has been appointed acting head of practice management until BT Financial Group fills this position.
