Michael Street, founding partner of Word On The Street, said: “I am thrilled that Jack has come on board; he is exactly the type of hire that fits in with our non-standard approach to finance broking – but addresses a real need for transformation in our industry.
“By combining Jack’s expertise, we’re adding to the cross-disciplined make-up of Word On The Street that is part of our secret to success.”
He added: “We don’t just want to arrange finance, we want to improve and enhance the experience, and this can only be done by thinking outside of the box.
“I have no doubt that Jack’s background and skill set will be an exciting development not only for us as a business, but for all of our lenders and professional partners.”
Medlicott added: “I am joining at a time of massive success for the business. Michael [Street, founding partner] and the team have created something special, and I look forward to this opportunity to contribute to its exciting journey.
“Over the years, I have fine-tuned my ability to review and improve day-to-day interactions between stakeholders, resulting in swifter, more streamlined lending.
“In my new role, I will seek to remove traditional blockages by promoting enhancements to processes and added perspective.
“I’ll also be adding value from a risk management point of view, utilising my extensive experience with loan structuring, including complex land and title considerations.”
