New advisor group with a difference

Former NZMBA chairman Geoff Bawden* set up the Q Advisor Group, which aims to support like-minded mortgage and insurance advisers trading throughout New Zealand, earlier this year.

Bawden said the group was not about aggregation, rather it was trying to create something a bit different in the industry.

“We want to work with advisers to help them achieve good results for both them as advisers and for their clients. We want to create something that advisers can grow and benefit from. It is very much an added value approach to advising.”

The group will help advisers with new business opportunities, as well as facilitate professional development and encourage best practice.
