Two new appointments for Cambrian Associates

Cambrian Associates has appointed two new para-planners to help with the influx of business as the economy recovers and consumers gain the confidence to invest again.

Sharon Haddock and Helen Jackson, a Cambrian Associates client, join the  team, taking the total number of staff to 29. They will support the financial advisers and have pivotal roles in product research, analysis and in depth fund research, as well as compilation of documentation required to implement policies.

“People are hearing more and more that it’s the right time to invest, and it’s definitely having an effect,” says Cambrian Associates managing director Roger Taylor. “We’ve seen new business increase substantially over the last two months, and we’ve added Sharon and Helen to the team to deal with this. We hope to be recruiting further in the near future.”

Cambrian Associates recently announced plans to offer its services nationally and grow its customer base locally, as well as recruiting several members of staff to offer new and existing clients the same levels of service.
