"Barry has been great taking control of compliance and regulation for Newpark and our advisers in 2010 but is moving on now too pursue interests in the business world but will continue to work very close with Newpark and our advisers," managing director Darren Gannon says.
Van Graan started his career in the insurance industry in South Africa nearly 20 years ago when he joined Liberty Life as a BDM. He worked his way up the ranks to the position of Divisional Manager and in 2006 decided to immigrate to New Zealand. He joined AIA New Zealand as Regional Sales Manager and assumed responsibilities as National Sales Manager in 2008.
At Newpark he is charged with building a sales team to support independent advisers who do not wish to belong to a QFE.
"We head into a strong sales year based around our lead programmes and development opportunities for advisers," Gannon says.
