Mark Posniak, Managing Director, Dragonfly Property Finance, commented: “The ability to manage relationships and risk are key attributes for any lender and in hiring Tim, Emma and Uliana we are enhancing those two crucial areas of our business. We will also be strengthening our development proposition in the weeks ahead to give them the perfect platform to grow this side of our lending business.”

Tim Phillips, Development Relationship Manager, Dragonfly Property Finance, added: “Dragonfly employs some of the most experienced individuals within property finance and the chance to work alongside them and play a role in growing the business further was too good to turn down.”
