The mortgage aggregator Vow Financial remains strongly committed to its growth strategy with two key appointments.

Justin Dale will head its new division, Vow Wealth Management, which has just opened its doors for business, and Leighton King has been appointed Business Development Manager.

Justin, who has worked for Macquarie Bank, Citibank and Westpac, brings a wealth of experience in third party distribution and mortgage broking to his new role.

Justin says: "It's very exciting to join the Vow team, and to head up its new wealth management arm. In my previous role at Macquarie I successfully introduced the Macquarie Mortgage Guard product into the third party broking market, and at Citibank I was the NSW/ACT State Manager for Third Party Sales.

"In these roles I got to know many of the Vow brokers, and I am now looking forward to working with them to expand their offerings into financial planning."

Leighton had roles at Aussie, South Western Financial Services, GE Finance and Westpac on his CV, and brings proven leadership and communication skills to Vow.

"As a manager who's passionate about business growth and commitment to service excellence, I'm really looking forward to embracing the challenge of being an integral part of the team that is determined to increase Vow's market share," he says.

Vow Financial chief executive officer Tim Brown says: "Justin and Leighton are welcome additions to Vow. Their experience and knowledge will prove invaluable as we expand our business."
