Graham is understood to be joining Octane from Octopus Property. 

Graham has spent over six years at the specialist lender, where his current role is head of core credit.

Liam Lawlor – who has been a BDM at Octopus since January 2016 – is also understood to be joining the Octane team.

When he was contacted for comment, Mark Posniak, managing director of Octane, said that he could neither confirm nor deny that Liam and Graham had been appointed.

Mario Berti, CEO of Octopus Property, commented: “We would like to thank Liam and Graham for their hard work and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

“In the meantime, its business as usual at Octopus Property and we know that both will give their full commitment as they work through their notice periods.
