(photo/submitted) By Nina Van Lieshout TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER — An open house recently com- memorated the begin- ning of a new era for Gary Bean Securities in Exeter. On Sept. 14 the Exeter and area com- munity gathered at the newly built stone build- ing on Main Street to see for themselves just how many changes have been made since 1972 when Gary Bean first started working in the securities industry. Over the years Bean has watched the indus- try change rapidly as he has had several posi- tions throughout the field from working for national firms to open- ing his own indepen- dent securities firm in 1994. The new facility, with the help of several local companies has been in the works for about five years with the business relocating from a small- er office to the new MUNICIPALITY OF SOUTH HURON INVITES 1.

There has also been upgrades to the com- puter systems and soft- ware to better track any changes to client accounts. Bean says gradually the business has evolved, from making individual trades for clients to advising clients as to what they should do with their money. "Every person is a bit different. Everybody's unique," says Bean. "Person to person you have to know your clients and work to understand them," says Bean. Bean says the grow- ing business aims to further increase their service and although having a firm like his in Exeter is unusual it does have its advan- tages, including the capability to provide more one-on-one time with customers, ensur- ing they know each cus- tomer on a personal level. Bean also says the new location will allow his team of experts to grow. "There's room to add more staff, which we're doing," says Bean. He also says with the progression and expan- sion of the business he is "always looking for the next challenge." And when asked what that next challenge is, Bean says although he does have a future pro- ject planned he's "not sure he wants to talk about it."
