Magnus Duke Dadzie (pictured above) will be leaving the company this week after completing a handover.

Magnus joined the lender in March 2014 having spent many years working as a broker and business owner specialising in property finance.

He will be leaving LendInvest to focus on personal interests involving property investment and management.

Magnus said: “It has been fascinating and gratifying to be part of LendInvest’s journey over the past four years.

“When I joined the team, there were 12 members of staff; today there are 10 times that many people working hard to run a business that’s become a market leader in its category.

•   LendInvest grows lending capital base by 104%
•   LendInvest launches BTL offering

“My time here has taught me a huge amount about property that I will take with me in my quest to become a property investor among my other interests.”

LendInvest’s sales team comprises nine full-time BDMs based in London, York, Scotland and the South, and is led by sales director Ian Boden.

The lender is currently undergoing a recruitment drive to expand its team of office- and field-based BDMs.

Ian Thomas, co-founder and CIO of LendInvest, added: “Magnus has been instrumental in the growth of LendInvest over the last four years, helping us transform from a fledgling start-up to one of the UK’s largest specialist property finance lenders.

“It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Magnus this week, but we wish him every success in his future.”
