Gavin Pluck has been promoted to group managing director of Blacktower Financial Management.
He joined the firm in February 2021 as group director from Guardian Wealth Management, where he served as managing director until February 2020 when the company was acquired by SkyBound Capital.
Pluck succeeds the firm’s founder and current group managing director John Westwood, who will take on the role of chairman to oversee the group’s growth strategies and acquisition planning.
Westwood said: “I have the utmost confidence in Gavin’s capabilities to skilfully lead the business through this time of tremendous growth and market opportunity. Already, Gavin has shown true dexterity in bolstering our industry position, and I look forward to watching his experience and expertise flourish in this most instrumental role within the Blacktower Group of Companies.”
Pluck added: “Having watched Blacktower’s reputation and progress in the market from afar until this year, it is nothing short of a privilege to assume the position of group managing director.
“The hard work is a long way from over but with our sterling brand proposition, meticulous growth strategy and robust infrastructure, the results of our efforts are set to make real waves in the market. Now is an exciting time to operate in the financial services industry and my focus is leading Blacktower through as the wealth management firm of choice in this ever-changing, but ever-rewarding landscape.”
