Twenty new advisers this year
New Zealand’s Vega Mortgages is preparing for significant growth, with plans to recruit 20 new advisers by year-end.
CEO and founder Harry Ferreira (pictured above left) said this expansion is key to cementing Vega as one of the country’s top finance advisory businesses.
Technology upgrades driving efficiency
Vega has been focusing on integrating new technology through its partnership with Finsure, which has improved adviser productivity.
“These large-scale technology shifts are never easy, but we've been refining and embedding the new system into our operations,” Ferreira said.
This includes the Finsure Virtual Assistant, which handles administrative tasks, freeing up advisers to focus on clients, it said.
Recruitment push for further growth
The company’s next step is increasing its adviser base, with plans to bring in 20 additional advisers.
“We’re working with Finsure’s in-house recruitment team to meet our target by the end of the year,” Ferreira said.
This will position Vega to expand its reach and enhance customer service.
Finsure impressed with Vega’s execution
Finsure Group CEO Simon Bednar (pictured above centre) praised Vega’s approach to growth.
“I’ve been incredibly impressed with how Harry and the team execute their vision for growth,” Bednar said.
This partnership has helped Finsure further develop its technology offerings based on Vega’s feedback.
Anticipating further expansion
Finsure NZ country head Jenny Campbell (pictured above right) echoed the optimism, stating that Vega’s clear vision has been inspiring.
“The Vega team has shown me just what is possible when an organisation has a clear vision,” Campbell said.
To support Vega and other groups looking to grow, Finsure has brought on industry expert Luke Meintjes to further strengthen its services.
Separately, just last month, a cancer fundraiser organised by Vega Group for Lauren Russo, daughter of their head of business growth, Kevin Russo, quickly reached its $80,000 goal in just two days, securing critical treatment for her stage-four melanoma.
