HUB24 hires head of retail distribution

HUB24 has appointed Nathan Taggart as head of retail distribution.

Taggart joins HUB24 with more than a decade of senior leadership experience across distribution, adviser engagement and strategic growth roles within financial services.

Most recently, he served as a general manager of distribution and marketing at Resolution Life, where he oversaw adviser engagement and spent more than 10 years across Zurich and OnePath in leadership positions spanning sales, strategic accounts and national distribution.

HUB24 executive general manager of platform growth Matt Willis said the appointment would support the firm's focus on strengthening relationships with advisers and improving client outcomes.

The move comes as platform providers increasingly compete on service quality and adviser support, alongside technology functionality and pricing.

Recent industry research found service remains a key driver or adviser satisfaction, with poor support frequently cited as a reason advisers switch platforms.

Taggart touched on his eagerness to contribute to the team at HUB24: "HUB24 has built a strong reputation for service, innovation and collaboration with advisers. I'm looking forward to working closely with advisers to build on the strong access and engagement advisers already have, ensuring they continue to deliver outstanding client outcomes.".

The appointment comes as HUB24 continues expanding its adviser support model through increased investment in training, service accessibility and AI-enabled tools, with the platform seeking to strengthen how advisers interact with both technology and client service teams as advice and business scales evolve.
