van Eyk exec joins non-aligned licensee

Fitzpatricks Financial Group has announced that Anthony Vaiente has joined the licensee as head of business growth.

Mr Vaiente was formerly manager of practice acquisitions and recruitment at van Eyk, charged with driving strategy across van Eyk’s advice channels in Australia and New Zealand – a role he was promoted to in November 2013.

Fitzpatricks managing director John McMurdo said the dealer group is “on the record as actively seeking professional advisers” to join the network, adding that Mr Vaiente’s “trusted relationships” with the advice community will be valuable.

van Eyk entered voluntary administration in September.
