When looking to finance a business investment, an asset purchase or buying a home, above all else you want the best rate but what makes the experience all the less stressful is if the person you’re dealing with is easy to talk with. Well, personal relationships are what I have prided myself on throughout my whole career. I consider what I value in relation to customer service and apply that same approach to my customers. I like to deal with someone who I can engage in easy conversation that’s doesn’t make me feel like I’m going for a job interview. When it comes to finance, it’s obviously important to have extensive experience in the field, but importantly, particular for those customers who run their own business, you want to deal with someone who also knows what it’s like to run their own business. I have worked in the finance industry for over 37 years, moreover for the last 23 years as an Owner Manager of several BOQ franchises. Throughout the years I have been the Owner Manager of BOQ New Farm (2003-2010), BOQ Maleny (2001-2006), BOQ Caloundra (2021- 2025) and BOQ Buderim (2016-2025). Being an Owner Manager, I know what it’s like to run my own business. I understand the challenges of running a business, or buying a home for that matter, but I also know how to structure your finance to chart a course for success. Naturally, you don’t want someone structuring your finance who doesn’t know how to manage their own. I’m proud to say each of my branches was a successful business in their own right with funds managed over this period totalling more than a billion dollars. Indeed, my last franchise, the BOQ Buderim branch was constantly recognised in the top 10 franchises for the group nationally. I also had a Ray White Group franchisee for more than 10 years before selling to an investment group. I still retain a 25% equity in the new entity, which today manages more than 1000 rental properties. The final point I would like to add is investing time in my local community is also incredibly important to me. I have been a passionate member of the Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club for over 18 years. I was elected President and chairperson of the Board in 2018 and continue in my role to this present day. Just recently, the Club was awarded Best Surf Life Saving Club in Queensland. I guess some of my personal success could be attributed to the fact I love dealing with people face to face, getting to know them, understanding their needs and then working with them to achieve the desired outcome. Being, what I hope comes across as, a down-to-earth country boy from Cairns, I treat others the way I like to be treated, with honesty and respect. Come in, let’s have a coffee and a chat, and let’s see how I may be able to help with financing your next business venture, personal home or asset purchase. It would be my absolute pleasure.

Client service has been the number one priority through the course of my career and thankfully, it has placed me in good stead. Throughout my some 20 years in the finance sector, my success can be attributed to the high regard in which I am held amongst my many customers. I strongly believe it is the customer feedback I have received in relation to my personal service that has propelled me along in my career. I first worked as Fleet Finance Manager for Toyota before I joined ANZ as their Relationship Manager on the Sunshine Coast. I worked with ANZ for close to a decade. Following that I became a fellow Owner Manager in the BOQ Buderim and Caloundra branches for a period of some 10 years. Recently of course, I founded Archer Henderson with my good friend and business partner Sam Archer. We established Archer Henderson so we can continue to deliver the same exceptional client service we have become known for, but to also have access to the full spectrum of lenders. This way we can ensure we get you the absolute best finance deal to suit your needs. I am personally so excited about this broadening of our horizons because it enables us to do even more for our customers. We will be personally scouring the providers for the best rate and terms. Furthermore, you can rest assured, we won’t be diverting your calls to online help desks or AI operated apps like most other faceless financial institutions. Everything we do, we like to do in person. I have always been old school when it comes to customer service and things have not changed and never will. When it comes to community, I have been a passionate supporter of several Sunshine Coast charities and community organisations such as The Board Meeting Surf Charity, Wishlist and various sporting clubs and associations. The Board Meeting does some great work assisting kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events. The aim of the charity is to raise much-needed funds for families who have fallen through the cracks of Government support, who are doing it extremely tough financially. Wishlist raises funds to support the growing health needs of patients and families on the greater Sunshine Coast and Gympie region. Since 1998, Wishlist has raised and directed more than $22 million towards the Coast’s local health system, which is phenomenal in my eyes. One of my biggest passions, aside from spending time with my young family and friends, is surfing. I like spending time out amongst the waves. I find it such a great way to unwind, relax, and immerse yourself in this fabulous place we call home. So, if you want to share a surfing story or two whilst we sort out what kind of finance you need, come in and let’s have a chat. There’s always time for good coffee and good conversation.
