ClearView hires BDMs to strengthen adviser relationships

James Blanton, Nick Dowling and Richard Monroe have been appointed business development managers for the regions of NSW/ACT, Victoria/Tasmania and Queensland respectively.

Mr Monroe established a risk advice business in 2012 after working for eight years as a life insurance BDM with BT. He spent three years running the firm before deciding to return to a BDM role with ClearView.

Mr Blanton was a senior BDM for Asteron’s NSW sales team for the last six years, specialising in life insurance, while Mr Dowling spent five years in wealth product distribution at Macquarie where he also specialised in life insurance, ClearView said in a statement.

ClearView managing director Simon Swanson said the newly created positions reflect the continued growth and strong performance across the business.

“James, Nick and Richard will have the responsibility of working closely with advisers to strengthen existing relationships within the adviser community,” he said.
