AXA Elevate has appointed three new distribution directors, Craig Metcalf, Daniel Neep and James Smith, effective from 1 June 2010
Craig Metcalf has worked in the financial services industry for almost eight years, first at M&G as account manager, and for the last four years as senior regional sales executive for Cofunds.
Daniel Neep was previously at Cofunds, having been there since 2006, following five years as an IFA consultant at Friends Provident.
James Smith has worked over 20 years for a variety of financial service providers including National Mutual Life and Standard Life, and most recently Cofunds.
Reporting to Andy Coleman, head of business development for AXA Elevate, the new trio of distribution directors will support the regional AXA Wealth teams in developing a collaborative approach to assisting IFA firms through business transition.
David Thompson, managing director of wealth investments and distribution, AXA Wealth, said: “Craig, Daniel and James have consistently out-performed for their previous companies and I am delighted to strengthen the distribution team at AXA in such a significant manner. They have experience in integrating and embedding platforms into IFA businesses and have a huge desire to make a contribution in assisting our customers through business change. All three will be pivotal in helping AXA Elevate and IFA firms alike, continue to grow and develop in preparation for the post-RDR world.”
