Industry veteran Magnus Duke leaving LendInvest and retiring from the industry

London, 16 January 2017 – LendInvest, the leading specialist property finance lender, has announced  that Magnus Duke Dadzie, one of the company’s longest-serving business development managers, will be leaving the business this week after completing a handover.

Magnus Duke Dadzie, who joined LendInvest in March 2014, boasts a long track record of working in the mortgage lending and broking world. Before LendInvest, Magnus spent many years as a broker and business owner specialising in property finance. He has taken the decision to leave LendInvest in order to focus on his personal interests which involve property investing and property management.

Magnus leaves a business development team at LendInvest that has expanded considerably in the last 18 months to accommodate growing demand for the company’s range of eight tailored loan products. The team now comprises nine full time BDMs based in London, York, Scotland and the South, and is led by Ian Boden, Sales Director, who joined LendInvest from Aldermore in September. LendInvest is actively recruiting for office and field-based BDMs at the moment.

Ian Thomas, Co-Founder & CIO of LendInvest, commented: “Magnus has been instrumental in the growth of LendInvest over the last four years, helping us transform from a fledgling start-up to one of the UK’s largest specialist property finance lenders. It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Magnus this week, but we wish him every success in his future .”

Magnus Duke Dadzie, Business Development Manager at LendInvest, added: “It has been fascinating and gratifying to be part of LendInvest’s journey over the past four years. When I joined the team there were 12 members of staff, today there are ten times that many people working hard to run a business that’s become a market leader in its category. My time here has taught me a huge amount about property that I will take with me in my quest to become a property investor amongst my other interests.”
