Thank you to everyone for their well wishes in my nomination for Broker of the year. Unfortunately, I didn’t take out the award this year, but it was an honour to have been nominated, and even further grateful for being shortlisted to 3 finalists.
Congrats to Joel Quatermain from Pacific Capital for winning the Broker of the year award and all other winners on the night.
The only disappointment in not winning was not getting to publicly thank the people that made my job such a pleasure. But then I realised we should not need to win an award to thank the people that support us.
So with that in mind.
Thanks to CAFBA for everything you do behind the scenes to make asset finance a better industry.
A massive thank you to ALL the Financiers for what they have done over the past 18 months. Covid has placed pressure on the Funders never experienced before. The speed at which they had to adjust processes and systems to suit ever-changing requirements can only demand appreciation. And while we all may have had our frustrations at times, they found ways to keep the money flowing and enable us to support our clients.
I also want to thank Mike, Caroline, Ryan and the team at Platform for always supporting whatever direction I wanted to take with my business.
And finally want to thank my team, Deb, Tom, Leigh and Sof. They say a business is nothing without its people, and that is undoubtedly true about Equipfin. I am one lucky employer to have a team that gives a dam.
Sometimes when you lose, you actually win!
