Chris will focus on the South of England and Lauren the West of England.
Chris has over 20 years’ experience working in financial services, most recently as Area Sales Manager at Nationwide.
Lauren has four years’ financial services experience and is soon to complete a diploma in regulated financial planning. She joins Dragonfly from within the Octopus group, having previously worked as a BDM for Octopus Investments. Prior to this, she was a New Business Manager at Barclaycard.
D’mitri Zaprzala, Head of Sales, Dragonfly Property Finance, commented:
“Demand in London may have cooled down but the slack has been more than taken up by other areas of the country. The M4 corridor and south of England are particularly active and the number of enquiries and AIPs we are receiving meant we had to further strengthen our exposure there. The combined wealth of knowledge and experience that Chris and Lauren bring to Dragonfly will not just deepen our reach but further improve our service levels, too.”
