Senior BDM

He’s someone brokers call when a deal needs careful thinking or when a client’s situation doesn’t fit the usual mould. Craig’s experience spans a wide mix of lending needs: for instance, SMSF for clients building wealth, commercial deals to seize opportunities, and construction funding where timing and structure matter. He also works with brokers on full doc, alt doc and lease doc, helping assess a borrower’s financial position when traditional paperwork doesn’t tell the full story. Craig’s strength lies in understanding what brokers’ clients are trying to achieve − whether it’s investing in their futures, navigating change, unlocking equity or managing the realities of running a business. He works with brokers to structure deals that reflect clients’ goals and capacity, especially in scenarios that need a more flexible or considered approach. He’s known for being responsive, clear and willing to dig into the detail to help get the deal done. Craig’s approach reflects what ORDE stands for: backing brokers with practical support and flexible lending so brokers can deliver the best possible outcomes − for their clients.
