Equity Trustees focuses on WA growth
Equity Trustees has strengthened its focus on Western Australia and added resources to New South Wales business development for funds management, with the appointment of Craig Mills to the newly created position of regional manager for business development for New South Wales and Western Australia.
Rowena Cole, Equity Trustees’ national sales and distribution manager, said Mills’ role would focus on the Western Australian market.
“A particular area of focus for Craig will be the WA financial planning industry which we believe has significant growth potential for the range of co-branded products we offer,” said Cole.
Mills will be responsible for distributing Equity Trustees co-branded investment products to financial planners and other intermediaries in NSW as well as building distribution activities for the WA market.
Mills was previously with AXA where he worked as a business development manager. His industry experience also includes working Asgard Wealth Solutions and Zurich.
