This follows the announcement that Smith and Williamson Advisory Investment Service director Mike Fosberry has been appointed president and Zurich Intermediary Group chartered financial planner Eddie Grant as vice president.
 
Everill has spent 20 years in the industry and has worked for life companies and IFA distributors in varying senior roles.

He has been involved in the PFS since its formation in 2005, previously as chairman of the Central Scotland regional committee and in 2006 he become area liaison officer for Scotland.

PFS chief executive Fay Goddard says: “We are delighted to welcome Jon and Garry to the PFS board. They bring a wealth of experience and ahead of 2012 can offer valuable insight into the challenges facing the profession during the implementation of the RDR.
