Claire joined Elders Finance in January 2026 as an Agri Finance Relationship Manager, bringing more than 20 years of experience supporting regional and rural businesses across Queensland, Victoria, and southern NSW. Her background spans agribusiness and commercial banking, giving her a practical understanding of how farming operations work on the ground and what drives long‑term business resilience.
Based in Mackay, Claire services the Mackay, Whitsundays, and Isaac regions, partnering with livestock, cropping, and mixed farming businesses. She takes the time to understand how each operation runs, from seasonal cash‑flow pressures and working‑capital requirements through to equipment finance, commodity cycles, succession planning, and long‑term business goals.
Clients value Claire’s calm, straightforward style and her genuine commitment to building strong, trusted relationships. She believes good advice starts with listening and works closely with clients, accountants, and advisers to deliver financial solutions that are clear, practical, and tailored to each business.
With the added capability to broker finance, Claire offers clients greater flexibility and choice while maintaining a strong focus on service, integrity, and consistent follow‑through. She is passionate about supporting regional communities and helping farming families build strong, sustainable futures.
Growing up in a small regional community, Claire understands the importance of trust, connection, and backing Australian agriculture. She brings those values into her work every day, combining financial expertise with a genuine commitment to the people and industries that keep regional Australia moving.
