Liberty appoints a new underwriter

She has almost 10 years in banking in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The company says in a statement, Nicholson “brings a fresh perspective to the role at Liberty.”

Her career includes stints with NatWest and Barclays banks.

Nicholson is looking forward to working with advisers and using her passion for problem-solving to help more customers.

“The thing that I look forward to the most is collaboration with advisers and utilising my skills and knowledge to find the best solution for clients, while delivering world-class customer service,” she said.

“I pride myself on finding solutions to problems, scrutinising the deal, exploring every possibility and thinking outside of the box. I understand that there are a lot of grey areas, especially in the current economic climate.”

Liberty chief executive Aaron Skilton pointedly notes Liberty is increasing its support to advisers while other Australian non-banks including Resimac and Bluestone have exited the market.

“Nicholson’ s appointment at a time when other lenders were leaving the non-bank industry signalled Liberty’s confidence, growth, and continued dedication to the adviser community,” he said.

“Liberty’s continued investment in growing our dedicated resources for advisers signifies our unwavering commitment to the non-bank mortgage industry. We continue to strive to provide superior service that supports our advisers to help more people gain access to the finance they need.”
