Compliance and business support provider SimplyBiz will be holding a series of gap-filling seminars in 2012.

The ‘Learning and Development’ sessions will be held nationwide and cover the majority, if not all, of the 109 outstanding gap-fill areas.

It is supported by financial services providers such as Metlife, Just Retirement, LV= and Prudential.

The sessions follow research among over 4000 advisers who use SimplyBiz into which areas they will be focusing on in 2012 and where they need most support.

SimplyBiz has aimed to give the events a holistic feel and attendees will be able to meet representatives to talk about issues such as software and marketing as well as gap-filling.

They will also feature a wide range of different media including presentations, videos and audio sessions.

Matt Timmins, joint managing director of SimplyBiz, said: “With their responses to the survey, our members told us meeting outstanding gap-fill objectives is a priority for the majority of them-regardless of the size of their firm or the number of advisers within it.”

“We have provided an accessible, valuable and efficient solution to fulfilling our members requirements.”

The first set of events will be held in February 2012 and SimplyBiz is currently in the process of gaining accreditation for the seminars.
