Synchron recruits AMP Group state manager
Synchron has appointed former AMP Group head of financial planning, South Australia and Northern Territory, Chris Regenass as its SA/NT state manager.
Regenass would replace the former SA/NT state manager, Sheridan Wright, who has resigned to accept a senior management role with Perpetual.
Based in Adelaide, Regenass has 22 years’ experience in working with self-employed financial planning businesses in SA and NT and has held previous roles with Charter Financial Planning and AXA.
Commenting on the appointment, Synchron director, Don Trapnell said: ““Chris has developed excellent relationships and built an impressive network of contacts over his long career in the financial services industry and has engaged extensively with industry associations such as the Financial Planning Association (FPA) and the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) to help promote our profession”.
Regenass begins his role with Synchron on 1 November.
Synchron created the SA/NT state manager role earlier this year which enabled the licensee to have a representative in every state in Australia.
Trapnell had said the expansion was an indication of the firm’s commitment to long-term growth of the firm and increase its footprint.
