Speakers David Pratt and Simon Penrose.
David has now started his own business after many years in the finance industry. David started his working life in CBA working in some far away places like Darwin. He undertook lending and then moved to Commonwealth Development Bank before transferring to CBFC where he moved into Equipment Finance his speciality. Subsequently he spent many years with Don Stevens Finance and later Centrepoint Finance when they bought out Don Stevens.
Now in his own business he still has access to the same lenders and even some others.He is able to be more flexible and is looking forward to the challenges of his own business.
Simon told us about his family holiday in Cairns and at Hinchinbrook Island where he attended his sister's wedding.
They enjoyed the reef and he reports that the Island did a fantastic job. No mobile phone reception or internet so the perfect place top get away from business and recharge the batteries.
Simon is now throwing himself back into work attending to all those telecommunication challenges.
