What a day on the green! 🏌️‍♂️
Welcome was thrilled to be part of TUMU Group x bbi’s inaugural Charity Golf Day, in support of Building Futures and Mates4Life. We sponsored a hole and had a team out on the course making the most of a great day.

Our crew came prepared, handing out Welcome branded golf balls, sunscreen to beat the Kiwi sun, and of course a few orange jellybeans to keep everyone fuelled.

It was fantastic to see so many people coming together to back causes that make a real difference in our communities.

We are pleased to introduce Wendy Babe, our Senior Loan Analyst and Business Development Manager, supporting mortgage advisers across the lower North Island and South Island.

Wendy brings over 20 years’ experience in financial services, including non-bank commercial property finance in Sydney and seven years in specialist lending here in New Zealand. She enjoys working closely with mortgage advisers to deliver quick, reliable solutions with clear communication. No two deals are the same, and this variety drives her commitment to tailored outcomes.

At Welcome, we take a flexible and innovative approach, whether a client has reached their bank’s lending limits, refinancing for competitive interest rates, looking to release equity from an investment property or financing residual stock to support their next move.

If you are a mortgage adviser and want to talk through a deal or find out what might be possible, Wendy and the Welcome lending team are here and ready to explore how to make a deal work.

Meet Sandy Gernhoefer – Relationship Manager

Born and raised in Hawke’s Bay, Sandy brings over three decades of experience in finance, driven by a simple goal: helping people feel good about their financial decisions.

“I love seeing the moment when someone feels confident, clear, and excited about their future,” says Sandy.

Outside of work, Sandy enjoys spending time with her adult children and grandkids, especially when it involves a trip across the ditch. She finds joy in meeting new people, sharing stories, and appreciating the little things, whether it’s a great conversation or a beautiful outfit (ideally both!).

For Sandy, investing isn’t just about money, it’s about possibility. She’s passionate about helping people shape lives that feel empowered and full of potential.

This post reflects Sandy’s personal perspective and is not intended as financial advice.
