ISCOVER
The brokerage brand has announced the appointment of a new state manager as part of strategic growth plans.
Resolve Finance has announced the appointment of Shelley Simpson as the brokerage brand’s new state manager for NSW.
Simpson – who started in the new position in early March – brings more than 15 years’ experience in financial services to the role, including stints at CommBank and Genworth Australia.
She also recently held a state manager role at mortgage protection provider ALI Group and has experience working as a mortgage broker in her own right at Easy Plan Financial Services.
The new position will see Simpson spearhead Resolve Finance’s ambitious growth initiatives in the state, building relationships with new partners and supporting the Future Franchisee Partner (FFP) Program.
When announcing the appointment, Resolve Finance highlighted her “proven track record” in developing high-performing teams, fostering client relationships, and driving business outcomes in financial services.
Sandy Paravizzini, Resolve Finance general manager, said: “Shelley’s deep industry knowledge and leadership experience make her an excellent choice to spearhead our growth in New South Wales.
“Her appointment reinforces our commitment to providing exceptional support to our franchisees and clients while expanding our presence in one of Australia’s most dynamic markets.”
Expansion on the agenda
In her new role, Simpson will work closely with the company’s FFP program that offers aspiring brokers a structured pathway to franchise ownership through hands-on training and mentorship.
The eastern seaboard remains an area of focus for Resolve Finance, which announced the appointment of Peter Easton as new state manager, Queensland, earlier this year.
As previously reported, Resolve Finance plans to triple its franchisee business over the next six years and has already added an additional 10 brokers to the team during 2025.
These plans would see the brokerage brand’s broker numbers go from roughly 80 to 220 franchisees, with 60 per cent of this intake projected to come from the FFP program.
“This is akin to teaching someone to fish, so they can feed themselves for their lifetime,” Paravizzini said at the time.
“We provide consistency where it makes sense, but support personalisation to build a successful mortgage broker franchise whether they start their franchise journey as an employee, as new to industry or more straight into a franchise from a background in banking, sales, or areas outside the financial services.
“It’s this agility that comes with a dedicated team that really helps our brokers thrive.”
