Forsyth Barr expands

Stockbroker Forsyth Barr is expanding in Taranaki and will open an office in New Plymouth.

"The decision to expand and establish a permanent presence in New Plymouth is an easy one for us," said managing director Neil Paviour-Smith.

The office will initially have two fulltime advisers and an assistant, and will open once premises have been confirmed.

In the past six months, Forsyth Barr has opened offices in Cambridge, Ashburton and Timaru.
