Aggregator's new regional director and portfolio manager named
Mortgage aggregator LMG has expanded its leadership team across South Australia and the Northern Territory, naming two senior hires as part of its strategy to enhance broker support.
Andrew Sammut (pictured) has stepped into the role of South regional director, overseeing LMG’s operations in South Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia.
Sammut, who joined LMG in 2021 following its acquisition of Plan, Choice and FAST, most recently served as state director for Victoria and Tasmania. He previously led Choice’s southern region and has experience as a broker and business owner.
Meanwhile, Rebecca Tanner has also joined LMG as portfolio manager for South Australia and the Northern Territory. In this role, she will be responsible for broker engagement and on-the-ground support across both jurisdictions. Tanner was previously with Connective, where she earned a reputation for her strong broker relationships.
“Rebecca brings incredible energy, commitment and experience. Brokers have trusted her because she’s been in their corner, working with them to create more opportunities in their businesses,” said Rob Thomas, residential national director at LMG.
Tanner said the comprehensive support structure at LMG was a key factor in her decision to join. “There’s a full team on the ground in Adelaide across residential, commercial and asset finance plus specialists in tech, cyber, compliance, diversification training and events, all working together to help brokers succeed,” she said.
The appointments follow a series of executive changes at LMG. Earlier this year, Ewen Stafford was named chief executive, while Katie Modra was appointed general manager, service centre and operations transformation.
The latest hires also come amid heightened market activity in the region. Brokers in South Australia and the Northern Territory settled $927 million in loans over the past year, marking a 45% increase compared to the previous 12 months.
