Kuflink hires head of products
Peer-to-peer lending platform Kuflink has appointed Paul Auger as head of products, as it continues to add to its senior leadership team.
In his new role, Auger will monitor the market to help create and launch a range of innovative new products at the property lender.
He was previously a director at unsecured lender TFS Loans, and prior to that he worked in underwriting and new business management at a variety of companies.
His appointment comes just weeks after Kuflink hired Ranjit Narwal as head of origination.
The platform has been in scale-up mode in recent months, launching a new range of buy-to-let products and mulling an entry into the consumer lending market, ahead of a possible IPO.

“After the appointment of Ranjit Narwal to become head of origination announced earlier in the month, Paul joining the team means that Kuflink is now ready to build on the foundations we have established over the past five years and begin to attract greater volumes of targeted new business from introducers with our existing product range and the new products that we will be introducing,” said Narinder Khattoare, chief executive of Kuflink.
“Paul brings a huge amount of experience to his role, which we see as an important additional resource which will help Kuflink present a compelling product proposition to the broker community.”
