Lonsdale Appoints Finance Manager

21 November 2005

Lonsdale Financial Group has appointed Graeme Porter in the new position of Finance Manager.

With his strong knowledge of lending policy and products, Porter will manage the development and growth of Lonsdale Finance Choice - an entity which will add finance lending as yet another service for Lonsdale planners and accountants to offer their clients.

He will proactively create relationships amongst the Lonsdale Associates to source client referrals for the purpose of providing secured retail and commercial credit products as well as sourcing business from accountants and other professional centres of influence requiring finance solutions for their clients.

Previously holding the position of Finance Broker and Director at Centre State Finance (Bendigo) Pty Ltd, Porter’s role encompassed viability assessments of businesses and the preparation and submission of lending proposals.

Prior to this, he worked at Mainland Finance Bendigo, holding the position of Finance Broker.

Lonsdale Financial Group CEO Mario Modica said he was delighted to appoint Porter to the role as a direct response to a need expressed by the Lonsdale Financial Group network of financial planners and accountants.

“Demand is already high and we look forward to the growth of this business”, Modica said.

“Graeme’s new position will greatly benefit our Associate network as he identifies new ways to strengthen value in our practices by more closely aligning the client to the business”.

“Lending is a crucial component when providing financial planning advice tailored to individual circumstances,” he said.
