Centrepoint makes key appointment
Centrepoint Alliance Group’s mortgage aggregator, Australian Loan Company, has appointed a new General Manager of Sales and Marketing.
The company announced this week it had appointed well known industry executive, Kevin Frost to the role with what it described as “a clear mandate to grow the business”.
Chief Executive of the Centrepoint lending businesses, Bob Dodd said the company was totally committed to growing its lending solutions businesses.
“Our mortgage aggregation business has not been keeping up with industry pace over recent years, so we have made some changes,” he said.
“As a non-institutionally owned alternate to the bank-owned or part-institutionally owned players, we believe we are in a good position to offer a bespoke service to brokers by enhancing their experience with education and training and a personalised, consistent and reliable service,” Dodd said. “We have continued to invest in our broker systems and have formed a joint board with broker representatives to ensure we deliver added value and productivity gains.”
He said Frost’s appointment clearly illustrated the company’s commitment to grow the business.
“We have a unique opportunity to introduce our mortgage and asset finance intermediaries to over 1,400 financial advisers and accountancy practices, as well as finding a number of general insurance brokers who are interested in our lending products too,” Dodd said.
