The new hire will commence her role on April 24
The Financial Services Federation has announced the appointment of a new business development manager.
Katharine McGhie will join FSF on April 24, bringing with her a wealth of experience in the association world from her seven years at BusinessNZ, including her current role as business development and events manager.
In her new role, McGhie will be responsible for building on the steady membership growth of the FSF, which represents responsible finance and leasing companies operating in New Zealand.
“Our number-one priority when it comes to membership is being satisfied that a member takes their responsible lending obligations seriously, and that won’t change,” said Lyn McMorran, FSF executive director.
“After the uncertainty of the last few years, organisations in the wider responsible lending community are looking to the FSF as a home to ensure they feel informed, connected, and part of a leadership body advocating for a fair and healthy non-bank lending sector in New Zealand.
“This new role means we will be able to focus on tapping into that potential, while allowing our small team to continue providing a fantastic service to current members.”
McGhie’s appointment brings the FSF team to 4.6 full-time staff, including McMorran; Sue Bentley, office manager; Hannah McKee, marketing, communications, and events manager; and Katie Rawlinson, legal and policy manager.
FSF currently has 91 member organisations, including UDC, Toyota Financial Services, Resimac, Turners, Pepper Money, Mercedes Benz Financial Services, Avanti Finance, and Scania. FSF members collectively reach 1.7 million Kiwi consumers and businesses.
