Skandia is actively recruiting to fill the vacancies and is confident that appointments ill be made in the short-term."
Morris is currently in Victoria visiting advisers.
"We want to reinforce with clients our service commitment and focus on a high level of contact," he said.
Both O'Connor and Murhy have joined platform provider Navigator, while Hoshek has taken up a job with the financial services organisation IOOF.
Nicholson's new job will be part of the Skandia executive management team.
The decision to expand the Skandia's executive team and appoint Felicity in the new job clearly demonstrates our focus on continuing to build our brand awareness and grow market share," Skandia chief executive Ross Laidlaw said.
Nicholson has over 15 years experience in financial services and was worked previously as head of distribution for wealth management at Suncorp.
