NAB Wealth general manager, customer retention and mature products, Tom Reddacliff has been appointed to the new role of general manager, member growth and marketing, at the FPA.
“With strong financial planning sector credentials, Mr Reddacliff will spearhead a concerted approach to concurrently grow the numbers of professional members and engage more Australians about the difference a professional financial planner can make in their lives,” said an FPA statement.
“[He] will primarily focus on working with professional practices, FPA partners and members to further embed the role of professionalism and certification in the financial planning sector.”
Mr Reddacliff is a strong supporter of the FPA’s philosophy of raising professional standards, commenting that “a profession must serve the greater good of the community”.
The new recruit previously held a number of role within the NAB Wealth network, including general manager of MLC Advice Solutions, managing director of NAB-aligned dealer group Godfrey Pembroke and national sales manager at MLC Investments.
FPA chief executive Mark Rantall is also a former managing director of Godfrey Pembroke.
Would of thought the FPA could do without more senior management or execs putting a strain on their cash flow.. Surely the industry is aware of the FPA and what you do by now.
All I can see is more fees and courses being conjured up to pay for this. More compliance raised, more standards – all in an effort to produce more revenue the FPA will need to exist.
You can’t educate or teach morals. A good adviser has the skills and knowledge to cater for all scenarios and “raising standards” is an insult to these good advisers! It’s unnecessary. Stop confusing bad behaviour and immoral/unethical practice with “advice”. My education and my standards are fine like many of my FP colleagues in this industry. STOP TELLING ME IM NOT AND INSISTING ON ME PAYING YOU A FEE TO DO A COURSE!!! Go chase the bad guys.
Once again we see the influence of the big banks coming into the FPA.When is the FPA going to learn about perceived conflict of interest?We have a product salesman coming into the ADVICE industry ,why does the FPA need a person of this expense ,I presume he is not on clerical wages.
