Property Pack has announced that Rozanna Wozniak and Ken O’Rourke have joined the firm.Established in 1988 by Glenn Christie and Carey Brunel, Property Pack processes property loans in excess of $500 million annually, and is one of New Zealand’s largest broking companies.
Wozniak has joined the company to promote www.mortgage.co.nz, a new and unique internet based residential mortgage broking service. “Mortgage.co.nz will help expand Property Pack’s client base into other parts of the country”, Wozniak says.
For clients who prefer face-to-face service, they will continue to have the benefit of our independent mortgage broking team if they wish. It’s the best of both worlds.”
Mortgage.co.nz will initially be promoted to the professional sector, including accountants, solicitors and financial planners.
Wozniak previously spent seven years as a senior economist with ASB Bank, where she developed the bank’s housing confidence survey and became well-respected as one of the country’s leading commentators on the residential property market and mortgage interest rates.
Ken O’Rourke has been appointed general manager of Property Pack Investment Management Ltd. O'Rourke’s primary role will be the overall management of the Property Pack Mortgage Trust, a newly established retail investment fund. The fund will be promoted throughout New Zealand via financial intermediaries.
“This new pooled fund has a unique unit trust structure which will benefit investors by providing both competitive fixed interest rates and the opportunity to diversify across a portfolio of mortgages”, O’Rourke says.
O’Rourke has more than 25 years experience in the financial services, banking and finance industries, including roles with Challenger International (NZ), Prudential, Colonial and the Bank of New Zealand.
"These new business ventures are a significant step in achieving our goal of becoming a full financial services organisation," Property Pack principal Glenn Christie says.
