Jenny Campbell's return to the mortgage industry

“I had sold my shares of my previous mortgage companies prior to covid as I knew that, with the new financial advice provider (FAP) regime fast approaching, I would have had to spend a huge amount of time and money getting ready,” Campbell says.

“It was going to be a massive task that would have involved a major IT project as well as taking on a large personal financial risk. I though it was a great time to cash up and see what new opportunities might present themselves,” she says.

Campbell was most recently chief executive of The Mortgage Supply Co and was previously general manager of the Professional Advisers Association (PAA) and the NZ Mortgage Brokers Association before it became part of the PAA.

But she didn't have much time for idling, becoming lead carer for her grandmother and aunt who were living nearby semi-independently.
