Woodbridge Capital expands Sydney office and appoints Ben Evans as Executive Director, Origination
Sydney, 16 September 2025: Woodbridge Capital is pleased to announce the appointment of Ben Evans as Executive Director, Origination as the firm accelerates its national expansion with the opening of a new Sydney office.
Evans brings more than 20 years of experience in property finance, including senior leadership roles at major institutions, most recently as a senior executive at Metrics Credit Partners. Known for his deep market expertise and strong borrower relationships, Ben has originated and structured some of the country’s most complex real estate transactions.

Evans will be based in Woodbridge’s newly opened Sydney office in Bligh Street, located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. This expansion of Woodbridge’s local presence reflects the firm’s strategic focus on Sydney as a key growth market and its commitment to providing tailored, fast and flexible capital solutions to local developers.
“Sydney borrowers want partners who understand the market, move quickly, and deliver with certainty,” Torrington added. “With Ben now leading our group origination efforts, we’re positioned to do significantly more deals in the city, and to do them well.”
“I’m excited to be joining Woodbridge at such an exciting stage in its journey,” said Evans. “Heading up the origination team provides a fantastic opportunity to build on the firm’s strong foundations, foster deep relationships with borrowers and developers, and contribute to the continued expansion of Woodbridge in the private credit space.”
“Woodbridge’s reputation for transparency, speed, and disciplined lending is exactly the environment I wanted to be part of, and I look forward to helping drive its next phase of growth.”
The new Sydney location and team expansion will be accompanied by a refreshed website with enhanced functionality for both investors and borrowers – as Woodbridge continues to grow and evolve, its promise to borrowers remains unchanged: trusted expertise, transparent financing, and unwavering focus on execution.
