A specialist lender has named its appointment to the newly created role of executive general manager of distribution.
RedZed has welcomed Chris Calvert to the team as part of its growth strategy to support and champion more self-employed Australians.
Since launching in 2006, RedZed has originated more than $3bn in loans and has charted an average year on year growth rate greater than 25%. In the next three years, the group intends to reach $5bn under management, including a projected 100% growth this financial year.
According to Chris Calvert, former CEO of Lewis Land Group, “RedZed’s purpose and values are clear."
“It is an organisation based on integrity and always putting its customer first. We are in a strong position for growth, and in doing so, we can encapsulate a broader range of the self-employed market which needs specialised products and support to succeed," he continued.
“What really attracted me to this role is the opportunity to serve the self-employed. These individuals are the foundation of the economy and possess the courage to back themselves and have a real go. I am proud to be part of an organisation that is built on enabling the self-employed to achieve the goals and dreams they’ve worked so hard for.”
RedZed founder and managing director Evan Dwyer has no doubt Calvert will accelerate the group’s growth.
“Chris brings more than a decade of experience in leading Australian and overseas property groups. He has always had a focus on execution and customer experience. His proven leadership will enable us to confidently expand our aggregator broker network,” said Dwyer.
“It is crucial in this environment to deliver our personalised solutions to a broader client base to ensure the self-employed community survive and thrive.”
Just last week, RedZed also announced its partnership with CHOICE aggregation services as part of its larger development plan.
