Financial Services Partners (FSP) has created a new role to help spearhead the dealer group's growth plans.
Allan Crane, who has worked in FSP's sales and development team for 10 years, will take on the role of national recruitment manager.
"Allan has a wealth of experience in understanding the issues faced by advisers on a day-to-day basis and, importantly, understands adviser businesses and what it takes for them to be successful," FSP chief executive Geoff Rimmer said.
Crane's role will focus on recruiting new firms to FSP, which currently has a network of 100 member firms, as well as helping existing practices with their recruitment and acquisition requirements.
Rimmer said in creating the role of national recruitment manager, FSP expected its value proposition in the market to be second to none for advisers seeking a full service dealer group.
Meanwhile, FSP has signalled its intention to bolster resources within its research and technical, professional standards and paraplanning areas by the end of the year.
