“Mr Corfield will remain at Aussie as he serves his notice period and Aussie has commenced a search process to find a permanent replacement.”
Executive director James Symond told The Adviser that Aussie had no preference on whether to recruit a replacement from inside or outside the industry.
“It’s all too early in terms of who the replacement would be or what they should look like, sound like or be like, except for they’ve really got to fit culturally within the business,” he said.
“Aussie continues its mantra of recruiting to its culture first. We will take our time recruiting a new CEO for the business, whether it takes three weeks, three months or six months.”
Mr Symond said Mr Corfield fit in perfectly with Aussie after coming across from Bankwest.
“Ian has spent just over a year being part of that machine and he was exceptionally well received within the business and will be sorely missed outside the business,” he told The Adviser.
Executive chairman John Symond said he would be sorry to see Mr Corfield leave but understood his desire to return to the UK.
“The Aussie business remains in an extremely strong position commercially, with our three-year strategic plan delivering impressive growth targets, achieving record mortgage volumes and increasing profits,” he said.
