Tailford, who had worked on the QROPS sales team of FNB, a South Africa-based bank, was recruited in response to a continuing increase in business globally, and in the Middle East in particular, according to Saker, who is now responsible for overseeing global business development activities. Tailford holds the AF3 (pension planning) qualification from the Chartered Insurance Institute.
The appointment is effective immediately and he is based in Brooklands’ Dubai offices in the Dubai Outsourcing Zone, Saker said.
Brooklands has been expanding in the Gulf and Asia, and says it currently has clients in more than 12 different time zones. As reported, it opened a representative office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last year.
