Since becoming chief executive, Blake Briggs has renewed the Financial Services Council's influence, expanded the membership base, and strengthened its policy and advocacy credentials. Karren Vergara writes.
As an adviser in Elders I have been for a long time frustrated on why we have continuously been classed as an institutionally aligned dealer group when we have our own AFSL, our own management, our own direction and vision and our own alliances with the greater Elders group.
When willl the press and ANZ realise that we have always run our own business totally seperate from institutional interference and now have a visionary CEO that is transforming us into industry leaders.
