First Mortgage Trust makes business development hires

FMT has appointed a business development manager and assistant BDM for the south island, to be based in Christchurch. 

Sacha Doyle (pictured), joins the Christchurch office as BDM, after spending six years as a business manager for ASB Bank. Doyle has more than 20 years of experience, mostly in the business sector. 

FMT said Sacha has "significant experience in business and commercial property transactions, as well as residential developments". "Sacha has built strong relationships within the advisor network and is looking forward to working together on new proposals," the lender added. 

Charlotte Bennett-Robertson joins First Mortgage Trust as an assistant BDM in Christchurch, working under Jeremy Finch and Sacha Doyle.

Bennett-Robertson has experience in the construction sector, and has also worked for BNZ as a senior associate in the property finance team. 

Cameron McLachlan, meanwhile, joins First Mortgage Trust as an assistant BDM in Auckland. A former ANZ relationship associate, he has worked in the Auckland property finance team for the past year, specialising in construction and development.

McLachlan has assisted with the funding of large-scale sub-divisons, apartment buildings, and hotels throughout Auckland.
