I made the move to Cairns after holidaying here in 1984. Sound familiar? Many people I meet come to Cairns on holidays and never leave.
I first worked for the ANZ Bank in Charters Towers, and when I moved to Cairns I worked for the Electricity Credit Union, Mercantile Credit and then AGC.
My father (Clarrie Clocker Martin) introduced me to the Motor Industry in 1987 and I enjoyed a fantastic 23 years servicing the Cairns and Far North in Motor Sales and Management. Prior to commencing work at Astute North QLD I was the Business Finance Manager at Australian Motor Group for 11 years.
Already having a passion for customer service, and vast lending experience, I took up the offer to head the Equipment Finance department within Astute North QLD, operating out of the Cairns office.
As a team of three Equipment Finance Brokers, one Mortgage Broker and support staff, it was time to grow the business further. In 2024, we opened Astute Finance Barron River in Stratford and look forward to cementing ourselves in the local community and continuing to provide the best customer service possible.
Away from work I enjoy maintaining my Kuranda property. Horse racing has also been a passion of mine from a young age so you will often find me trackside having a few cold beers.
