Two new BDMs at Pepper Money

The alternative finance company has hired two new faces to bolster its on-the-ground adviser support team. 

Two new BDMS have been appointed to cover the Christchurch and Bay of Plenty and Wellington regions. 

Pepper Money’s existing relationship manager Aaron Taylor, (pictured), has been promoted to BDM in the South Island. 

Taylor will shortly relocate to Christchurch, Pepper said, where he will focus on "supporting existing accredited advisers in the region and building out the awareness of Pepper Money in the South Island".

Joshua Martin has joined Pepper as BDM covering the Bay of Plenty and Wellington regions. 

He has more than seven years of experience in the mortgage advice sector as part of the Lifetime Group, where he worked between 2013 and this year.

Martin also worked as a real estate agent for Eves. 

Pepper Money’s New Zealand head Aaron Milburn said: “I’m delighted to see Aaron Taylor stepping into a BDM role after doing such a great job supporting advisers as a relationship manager in Auckland. Similarly, it’s great to have Joshua joining the Pepper Money family just as we spearhead growth into new areas of New Zealand.”

As part of the new look lineup, Rebecca Atoa will be promoted to relationship manager to work in the adviser sales support team, Pepper said.
