Central Coast/Hunter

Balmain Origination and Lending

Our Central Coast Office was established in 2000 by Directors Gavin Drummond and Phil Jenkins, both former bankers that are highly experienced in all aspects of commercial property finance.

Growing over many years and across multiple credit cycles, Balmain’s specialist commercial loan brokerage network is the largest and most experienced non-bank commercial loan origination.

Balmain is ideally placed to capitalise on the strong growth and opportunities which existed in the Central Coast and Hunter Regions of NSW. Both Gavin and Phil have a passion for property development finance and are experts at problem solving difficult transactions.
