Peter Craddock, group operations director at Perspective Financial Group, has been appointed to the board of the Association of Professional Financial Advisers (APFA).

Chris Hannant, policy director at APFA, said: “We are pleased to welcome Peter back onto the Board, a position he has previously held with distinction at AIFA and now again at APFA.

“As always, there is much work to be done, but having Peter’s experience and insight on the Board certainly helps us as we look at the variety of services we can offer members and how we can continue to best represent their interests.”

Craddock added: “It’s an honour to be asked to join the APFA Board again and I’m looking forward to working with other Board members and the APFA team.

“This is an exciting time for the advisory profession and APFA has already conducted some important work this year, particularly in relation to FOS and FSCS levies and funding.

“The advisory landscape may have changed but the need for a strong and focused trade body representing advisers has not – this is what APFA delivers and I hope to help support the organisation in achieving its objectives.”
