Broker aggregators PLAN Australia, Choice Aggregation, and FAST have appointed Andrew Wild and Hannah Carter as growth managers to drive the network’s growth across NSW.
PCF (PLAN, Choice, FAST) Group managing director Stephen Moore said the new additions were a clear commitment to grow each brand with quality brokers and their businesses.
“They are both superstars,” Moore said. “Andrew and Hannah have extensive experience and connections, and a unique understanding of what’s needed to achieve in the modern market.”
The aggregators, which are owned by Loan Market, appointed Wild and Carter to focus on attracting new broker business to the group.
“Andrew is fantastic with people and has a strategic mind. He comes from national sales and leadership roles and provides great insights and understanding through social media tactics, efficiency through technology in business, as well as training and development,” Moore said.
Wild (pictured below) said he looked forward to introducing brokers to MyCRM and integrating all aspects of their business.
“The business has many experienced partnership managers supporting brokers and I also look forward to working closely with them in promoting the offering of the brands,” he said.
“Hannah has so much enthusiasm and energy which is infectious,” added Moore.
“She started her career at FAST and has moved around different businesses within the industry and is now back home - she is very innovative and has a positive impact across the team.”
Carter (pictured top) said she believed her new role was a great opportunity to join the aggregator group.
“I think the role is really unique: it’s almost like being a broker for brokers, finding the home and community that’s best suited to them,” she said.
The aggregators offered a choice of three business models to suit different needs for brokers, which provided a unique match for different models depending on broker’s needs.
The main focus was to help brokers grow with a three-fold core proposition: to help brokers save time, keep them safe, and provide support when brokers need it.
“Andrew and Hannah love the broker industry; they are big promotors of it and actively endorse brokers across the network,” said Moore. “They focus on quality. Quality people, processes, and attitudes. They understand how busy brokers are and they want to provide quality support to them.”
The aggregator group shared a positive outlook on the year ahead, despite external challenges.
‘’Our view is we still have growth to go right across the country, despite some property markets plateauing, we are still seeing good growth in the broker market share,’’ said Moore.
