Mortgage Link appoints new BDM

Kelly Brough becomes Mortgage Link's new Business Development Management, effective immediately. Brough has worked in a number of roles across the business, starting as a PA and moving into a mortgage adviser on the West Coast, and Nelson, before moving to Canterbury.

Brough has spent the past two years getting to grips with the development, training, and on-boarding of Mortgage Link's CRM, Advice Link.

Brough will continue to be based in Canterbury and takes on a raft of new responsibilities as BDM. She will be responsible for supporting advisers, bringing new advisers on-board, and working on licensing for advisers under the new financial advice regime, which passed its third reading last week.

Brough will retain her accreditation with lenders existing clients, and she will be available as a locum broker if needed.

Brough's hire comes as a former Mortgage Link sales director moves on. Graham Clarke, National Sales Director since December 2017, has just joined non-bank lender Avanti.
