An interview with… Lucy Oakenfull, Broker Manager

Welcome to the second instalment in our blog mini-series introducing you to members of our small but hard working Dawsongroup Finance family.

Last time you met our operations manager Fiona, who bravely stepped up to do the first interview, and now we’d like you to meet Lucy, our brilliant Broker Manager.

Based here at Ringwood HQ she is busy building relationships and developing the profile of the company, while putting excellent customer service at the heart of everything she does.

So, Lucy, over to you!

Can you describe your role?

My role at Dawsongroup Finance is to build and manage our presence within the Broker Market, offering financial solutions for customers by delivering a great customer service.

What do you love about your job?

I really enjoy developing our Broker relationships. I find it extremely satisfying to know that I am helping businesses develop and thrive, whilst promoting Dawsongroup within the broker community.

How do you relax?

I have a young Cockapoo so enjoy taking him out on long walks through the forest or down at the beach so he can have a swim. I enjoy eating out, trying different foods and enjoying a bottle of wine. Whilst I’m not out and about, I like to spend my time with friends and family.

What do people find surprising about you?

People find it surprising that a few years back I flew out to New York by myself and travelled to LA and went through 12 states with 12 other strangers. I saw amazing sights, met great people, whilst learning about different cultures.

Tea or coffee?

All-inclusive hotel, or cultural city break?
