Kuflink, the national bridging and development finance lender, has appointed Paul Auger as head of products.

He is tasked with monitoring the market and producing new concepts to enhance the existing product range as well as launching new products over the coming months.

Auger (pictured) joins Kuflink after a long career in the specialist lending sector. He joins from an unsecured loan lender, where he was responsible for setting the business up and was a director for over 10 years.

Previously, he has worked in underwriting and new business management with companies such as Ocwen and Loans etc.

Narinder Khattoare, Kuflink CEO, said: “After the appointment of Ranjit Narwal to become Head of Origination announced earlier in the month, Paul joining the team means that Kuflink is now ready to build on the foundations we have established over the past five years and begin to attract greater volumes of targeted new business from introducers with our existing product range and the new products that we will be introducing.

“Paul brings a huge amount of experience to his role, which we see as an important additional resource which will help Kuflink present a compelling product proposition to the broker community.”

Auger added: “Kuflink has always been a lender that I have admired. I am looking forward to playing a significant role in developing new and innovative product themes that we can take to the broker and introducer community.”
