The Team

Les Crowe Owner

Les has worked in the industry since 1986, during which he's accumulated an incredible amount of experience. Les has founded 4 companies, served tens of thousands of clients and solved countless problems. He's also helped clients buy everything from trucks and tractors to caravans and cranes.

As much as Les enjoys finance, he loves his wife, three children and five grandchildren even more. Oh, and his motorsport too. “Finance has been my life for many years, but I’ve been doing motorsport since I was nine years old, so nothing beats jumping on a motorcycle and going for a long, relaxing ride,” he says.

Geordie Bate Team Leader

Geordie loves finance so much that he’s worked in the industry for more than 25 years. He’s very much a people person – the best part of his job is being able to help clients and work with such a friendly, talented team. “Work is great, but I also enjoy my down time,” he says. “Outside the office, I’m a junior basketball coach and a passionate jazz vocalist – two hobbies you rarely see in the same sentence.”

Rohan Lampitt Partnership Manager

Rohan seems to know everyone in finance – which is not surprising given he’s been part of the industry since 1985. Rohan is a people person, so he’s definitely in the right job. “I love travelling to meet our referrer partners and working with them to solve their customers’ financial problems,” he says. Away from work, Rohan enjoys tinkering in the shed, working on his motorcycles and hitting the open road.

Boyd Simmonds Partnership

Boyd is a broker, an account manager … and an international man of mystery. “I’ve lived in six different countries for more than a year at a time. I’ve been to Antarctica and every other continent, except Africa,” he says. “Besides travelling, I also enjoy freediving, snowboarding, gliding and flying.” Boyd has worked in the finance industry since 2009. The best part of his job is being able to deliver good news to the company’s referral partners.

Alana Scott Finance Broker

Alana has worked in finance since 2012, during which she’s gained a tremendous breadth of experience. “I’m always meeting new people from different backgrounds with their own unique finance scenarios,” she says. “That’s what I love most about being a broker – no two days are ever the same.” Away from the office, Alana is a proud mum who spends a lot of time running after her kids.

Kristel Blackman Finance Broker

Kristel has worked in finance for a decade and loves helping people. “It’s my mission to ensure customers are happy with the outcome. I share our customer’s joy when they pick up their new asset,” she says. Away from work, Kristel enjoys spending time with her fiancé and their two beautiful dogs. Kristel also practises karate – she has a yellow belt in Kyokushin karate and has won two full-contact tournaments in Victoria.

Chloe Rumble Finance Broker

“The best part about my job,” Chloe says, ”is helping people solve finance problems. I love the feeling of getting someone a loan when they’re unsure if they’re going to be approved.” Part of the reason Chloe is so good at her job is because she makes a point of building relationships with her clients and referrer partners. Away from the office, Chloe likes spending time with her dog and going out for nice dinners.

Cruz Blanchett Finance Broker/Analyst

What does Cruz have in common with Queen Elizabeth I, Katharine Hepburn and Veronica Guerin? Well, all those characters have been played by his movie star aunt, Cate Blanchett. Cruz loves working in finance. “I really enjoy being able to meet and help different people every day,” he says. “I also appreciate the positive culture we have at NFAL.” Away from work, Cruz likes eating out, going on road trips, and spending time with friends and family.

Ivan Chai Finance Broker

Ivan loves being a broker, but he’s already thinking ahead to the next stage of his life. “I’m going to retire on a cruise ship,” he says. “Who wouldn’t love to live such a relaxing, carefree existence?” When Ivan is land-based, the thing he most enjoys about his job is being able to interact with clients from a wide range of professions and backgrounds. After work, he enjoys exercising, fine dining and playing computer games.

Corryne Pavlic Administrator

Here’s a deliciously quirky fun fact about Corryne – she dislikes peanuts but likes peanut butter. She also enjoys reading, spending time with family and friends … and eating peanut butter on toast. Corryne has worked in the finance industry for a decade. “National Finance And Loans is such a great place to work,” she says. “We’ve got a really positive, supportive work environment, where everyone has each other’s back.”

Kearin Lee Admin

Kearin has been around finance forever, having worked in the industry for more than 25 years. The thing she loves most about her job is talking to clients, helping her colleagues and working with a great team. “When I’m not at work, I enjoy doing pilates, going to the beach and catching up with family,” she says. Speaking of family, Kearin is a mum of five – which includes a set of triplets.
