“We believe in fostering a collaborative culture, that prioritises innovation and growth, and our recent, extensive investment in our team is testament to this. And although Jane brings almost two decades of experience in the industry from roles at a variety of specialist and mainstream lenders, she is also a brilliant people person, and has the skills needed to take the team to new heights.”
