Hillross boosts regionalised adviser support
AMP-owned dealer group Hillross Financial Services has boosted regionalised support for its network of advisers, appointing twelve new senior managers across the country.
One of the new roles had been filled by AXA’s former investment research manager, Hamish Trumbull (pictured), who was appointed business relationship manager in Queensland.
Announcing the appointments, Hillross managing director Hugh Humphrey said the merger between AMP and AXA had created the new opportunity for Trumbull.
The new roles will be based in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney, with a larger team in Melbourne to support advisers in South Australia and Tasmania.
Victorian practices received a new head of financial planning, Monique Moore, who would also support South Australia and Tasmania.
Moore had moved from Suncorp, where she was general manager for Gold Coast since 2009.
Robin Memory and James Grant were recruited as business partnership managers for Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, while Elwyn Moyser had been appointed to the same position in Western Australia.
Moyser had previously worked in a similar role for AMP financial planning in NSW, before establishing her own advice and consultancy firm.
