Dragonfly appoints new BDM

Bridging lender Dragonfly Property Finance has announced the appointment of Daniel Murray as its Internal Business Development Manager.

Daniel, who has more than a decade worth of financial services experience, will be focusing on further developing Dragonfly’s strong introducer relationships, introducing brokers to areas of Dragonfly they may not have been exposed to, and increase lending in all corners of the UK - specifically beyond the capital.

“We are delighted to have Daniel join our growing BDM team in order to enhance our strong broker relationships, and raise awareness of the full Dragonfly product range,”: commented Mark Posniak, Head of Sales & Marketing, Dragonfly Property Finance.

“Dragonfly is well known for its core bridging products, but we also have a non-bridging product range that is now one of the largest in the sector. As a business, we are very committed to increasing our reach outside of London and the South East, and this will be a specific area of focus for Daniel.”

Daniel Murray, Internal Business Development Manager, Dragonfly Property Finance, added: “Dragonfly’s huge appetite to lend and ambitious growth plans are what drew me in and it’s great to have the chance to play a role in the continuing growth of such a key player in the sector.

“I’m looking forward to working with D’mitri, Daniel and the rest of the team to increase Dragonfly’s reach and help it achieve the big targets it continually sets itself — and continually achieves.”

Daniel previously spent seven years at International Financial Data Services (IFDS) as its Client Relationship Manager, where he maintained the BlackRock account. He has also worked at both Barclays and The Mortgage Times, where he qualified as a mortgage adviser.

Dragonfly, which redeemed more than £750 million worth of loans since 2009, is a privately funded principal lender which has lent over £1.3 billion since inception.

Dragonfly is part of The Octopus Group, which is a UK fund management business that manages more than £4.7 billion of funds of behalf of 50,000 investors.
