Phil Billingham to join threesixty
Phil Billingham, Chief Executive of Perception Support Ltd, is to join threesixty services, the leading fee based IFA support provider.
Perception Support’s client base and services will join with threesixty, enhancing their already substantial service offering by giving existing threesixty clients access to a broader range of services.
Phil Billingham comments “It’s become clear as IFA’s consolidate and become more sophisticated, the breadth and depth of support available to them must do the same. We have worked with threesixty for a number of years, and find we share a similar culture and approach to clients. Joining with threesixty seems a natural progression”.
Phil will focus on enhancing threesixty’s support and expertise in the areas of Practice Management, training and discretionary investment services. The merger strengthens threesixty’s already considerable Financial Planning expertise, as Phil is a Director of the Institute of Financial Planning.
“We are delighted to have Phil on board as part of our commitment to ensuring that threesixty clients have access to the very best in both people and resources. Phil will extend our business transformation services at a pivotal point for many in the profession. Those firms already progressed in this area will always want to finesse their proposition and Phil offers this as well.” says Russell Facer, Partner, threesixty services LLP.
Both companies have an excellent reputation for the provision of training and consultative services. threesixty’s wide range of Compliance and other support services, over the last 6 years has established them as one of the most important and prestigious IFA support firms in the UK. Perception Support have offered a more bespoke ‘Practice Management’ based service, working with firms to improve their business processes and models, increasing profitability and capital value.
Phil joined the Financial Services profession in 1982, moving into sales management and subsequently training. Now a highly regarded speaker worldwide on Financial Services regulation and Practice Management issues, Phil will prove to be a valuable addition to threesixty’s growing team.
