Avanti Finance has appointed Bridgitte Turner as its new property business development manager, a role that will see her support advisers across Northland and Auckland’s North and West regions. The lender said the appointment strengthens its expanding property team and reflects its commitment to adviser support nationwide.
Turner brings more than 16 years of experience in financial services and property. She began her career as a mortgage broker before moving to ANZ Bank, where she became branch manager and later business development manager. The company said her industry experience and focus on adviser success make her a strong fit for the role, which will involve working closely with advisers to provide tools, guidance and support for clients seeking flexible lending options.
“I’m excited to embark on this new chapter as Business Development Manager at Avanti Finance,” said Bridgitte Turner. “I look forward to working with an award-winning team and helping our adviser network deliver tailored solutions to meet their clients’ unique needs.” The lender said Turner’s appointment comes as it continues to strengthen its nationwide adviser-facing capability.
Ian Boyce, general manager – property at Avanti Finance, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Bridgitte to the team. With a dedicated business development team of six, along with 18 lending specialists and support staff covering the length of the country, Avanti Property Lending is well-positioned to deliver the fast, flexible, and personalised support advisers need to grow their business.”
