Richardson GMP appointed advisors Mark Begg and Murray Bockhold to its Board of Directors today.

They will join the returning board members, including: Winthrop H. Smith, Jr., chairman and CEO of Summit Ventures NE and president of Sugarbush Resort; Kevin Sullivan, deputy chairman, GMP Capital Inc.; Andrew Marsh, president and CEO, Richardson GMP Limited; and Sandy Riley, president and CEO, Richardson Financial Group.

“[Begg and Bockhold] will offer unique perspectives and ensure that our goals and priorities always remain aligned with those of our clients,” says Smith.

“Both advisors have built successful practices and will contribute a client-centric and an advisor-centric voice [to the board],” says Marsh.

He adds, “Richardson GMP has built a partnership culture. Having advisors on our board puts us on the same side of the table.”

The news comes shortly after the company lost three of its top advisors to Macquarie Private Wealth; last week, Martine Cunliffe, Rory O’Connor and Tim Engelbert all joined Macquarie on the same day.
