Dan Thorne joins Dragonfly from Bluestone Mortgages, where he had served as a mortgage underwriter, while former loans executive Edward Macan joins from Regentsmead.

Mark Posniak, managing director of Dragonfly Property Finance, said: “…We take risk very seriously at Dragonfly.

“In our current rapid growth stage, ensuring our underwriting remains as robust as ever is key and that’s where Ed and Dan come in.

“They’re not just experienced and knowledgeable, but share the one thing we value above all at Dragonfly: a keen nose for risk.”

Dan, who also spent over two years working at Metro Bank, explained: “Dragonfly have an exceptional track record when it comes to risk and so for me this is a fantastic opportunity to further my own knowledge and skills.

“The speed at which we’re growing also means there’s plenty of room for career progression, which is always a huge motivating factor when starting out in a new job. I can’t wait to get stuck in.”

Edward added: “Everyone in property finance respects Dragonfly and I’m delighted to have the chance to finally work here.

“What appealed to me wasn’t just the opportunity to be surrounded by the industry’s best underwriters, but also the fact that no two days are the same.

“The breadth of projects Dragonfly works across is extremely impressive.”
