NGS Super has added two managers to its team to strengthen member and employer engagement and support the fund's growth.
The superannuation fund recently opened a Perth office and has appointed Kate Bell as Western Australia's business development manager, while David Eitzen will join NGS's Adelaide office in February 2011 as fund development manager.
Bell brings a breadth of financial services experience to her new role, with financial planning qualifications and previous roles held at State Street Global Advisors, Credit Suisse, BT and Axa.
A qualified accountant, Eitzen has held a number of commercial roles and positions on boards of peak bodies within the independent education sector.
Despite having achieved above average growth over recent years, the fund remains mindful of the increasingly competitive market, NGS Super chief executive Anthony Rodwell-Ball said.
"NGS Super is experiencing an exciting growth period and these two new appointments will extend that growth in key Australian markets," he said.
"These significant appointments will ensure we sustain momentum, not only in our ongoing commitment to financial literacy and member education, but also in maintaining critical size to allow us to deliver cost-effective solutions to our stakeholders."
While Bell will service existing NGS Super employees and members in Western Australia, another key element of her role will be the development of new business opportunities in the current dynamic and fast-paced market, Rodwell-Ball said.
Eitzen's role with NGS Super will involve working with state-based relationship managers to develop growth opportunities in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
