Well-known industry figure Barry Harrison will join LoanKit as its state manager in Western Australia.
Harrison's appointment will help to ensure a permanent recruitment presence in the western state.
He has 25 years experience; working first for a major Western Australian financial institution and then as a licensed broker before taking up the role of WA state manager for Plan Australia.
LoanKit CEO Simon Dehne said Harrison's experience and contacts would prove lucrative to LoanKit's expansion plans in Western Australia.
"His background will lend a strong hand to bolstering our existing network and steering them to continued growth," he added.
"We are at an advantage to have such a well-rounded player join the LoanKit team. I am sure our broker network will benefit greatly from Barry's wealth of knowledge," Dehne said.
Harrison said he has been 'waiting' for the LoanKit opportunity.
"I strongly believe in the proposition of this business - providing tailored solutions to established broker groups who are not satisfied by a one-size-fits-all philosophy," he said.
LoanKit is Mortgage Choice's aggregation arm. It increased its broker numbers by 20% between June and December last year.
