The Invoice Market scopes out new talent
Former PolicyLink managing director, Bernie Kelly, will take up the position of head of national sales and referral partnerships with alternative financer, The Invoice Market (TIM).
TIM chief executive, Angus Sedgwick, said Kelly would bring the communication and business skills needed for growing the company as it reached the end of its second year in business.
"I have known and worked with Bernie over the past 25 years — Bernie thrives on challenges and implementing ideas... these skills are essential for a growing business such as TIM," he said.
"In addition to the extensive business experience that Bernie brings to the team, he is a great communicator, has strong entrepreneurial skills and is extremely energetic."
Kelly stated that his new role within the P2P company had already begun to show its benefits. The volume of new business has doubled since March, and according to Kelly, the company was in a strong position for national and global growth.
"As the awareness of alternative financing and demand for it continues to grow over the future years, TIM will be seen as both a pioneer in this market and a reputable business domestically and internationally," he said.
"I truly believe we've just scratched the surface."
