Our People

Bob Fowler

Founder
Founding our organisation in 1972, Bob has an impressive collection of career accolades spanning more than 50 years in life insurance and personal wealth planning. His industry expertise and passion for helping people enabled him to successfully establish Fowler’s as one of the leading financial planning and advisory firms in Australia.

Bob currently shares his time between assisting in the strategic direction of the firm, and community and family activities. In his advisory role, he is responsible for business planning, mentoring, introducing new clients and chairing quarterly strategic planning meetings. His business coaching and professional associations with national and international organisations have given him the knowledge to guide the team through forward planning and goal setting.

His enthusiasm, approachability, reputation and experience make him a naturally motivating presence for our team and valued member of the Cairns community. He enjoys working with a great team and supporting clients by giving them direction and ensuring they stay on track to reach their goals.

Along with the other Directors of Fowler’s Group, Bob also published his first book, 40 Lessons Learnt in 40 Years of Business.
