The Board and Executive team expressed their sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr Beanland for his leadership and guidance during periods of sustained and rapid growth in the business. Mr Beanland leaves a strong legacy of achievement and innovation within Superpartners and the superannuation administration industry as a whole.
