“Acclaim has always been committed to putting advisers at the centre of what we do, and I am excited to take on this role at such an important stage in the company’s growth.

“Over the past eight years I have had the opportunity to work closely with advisers across the country and understand what they need from a platform partner. That insight will continue to guide how we evolve our operations, enhance service delivery and support advisers to grow their businesses.”
