Morrow said: “I am incredibly excited to be joining Ascentric at this point in its evolution. I spent a number of years competing with Ascentric while at AXA and then the last 16 months working in partnership with them while at HSBC, as provider of an open architecture onshore bond. Successful platform adoption and integration is one of the critical steps in getting an advisory business ready to survive and thrive in the post RDR environment. As one of the few profitable platforms in the UK market and with secure long term funding, I believe Ascentric is uniquely placed to deliver this."
