Graeme Bombell

Finance broker

46 years in the industry · Padstow office

0414 529 357 graeme@jewelfinance.com.au

Why broking: “I had worked for one of the major banks for over 20 years, the majority in some form of lending role. Broking was a way to provide clients with more options and a way to challenge myself.”
The best part of the job: “Working with people to assist them with meeting their financial dreams. Knowing I have been able to use my experience in obtaining the best outcome for them.”
Away from the desk: “I am a golf tragic! the camaraderie around playing the best. It goes without saying that I enjoy spending time with my children and now my grandchildren Teddy & Isla.”
Something you would not guess: “Love watching chick flicks, answering trivia questions based on these flicks. Favourite is Pitch Perfect franchise.”

Roger Coffee

Finance broker

43 years in the industry · Padstow office

0419 611 595 roger@jewelfinance.com.au

Why broking: “Having previously worked in a bank, I liked the idea of being mobile & seeing people in their own space. Also, the idea to concentrate solely on lending rather than general banking. The flexibility is also appealing rather the standard 9-5.”
The best part of the job: “Meeting different people, from all different walks of life, and helping them achieve their dreams and goals through property.”
Away from the desk: “Love walking the dogs in the bush and being out with friends and family for dinner/drinks, and nothing beats a packed Shark Park.”
Something you would not guess: “Can find a tear in any good movie, particularly a "love story" or a movie involving animals. Even the Qantas "Fly me home" ads got a run.”

Geoff Bombell

Finance broker

20 + years in the industry · Padstow office

0412 939 576 geoff@jewelfinance.com.au

Why broking: “I was recruited from outside the industry back when brokers made up 30% of all sourced home loans. It was definitely an industry on the move. Over 2 decades later I’m very glad I made the move, it opened up a whole new world.”
The best part of the job: “What I want for other people is the same as what I want for myself; Freedom. Financial and personal. I love seeing my clients succeed.”
Away from the desk: “Family life is the most important thing. You realise that the older (and wiser) you get. I have long established links to community sport here and overseas that has certainly broadened my horizons and kept me busy.”
Something you would not guess: “I am an avid vegetable gardener. Love to get my hands dirty.”
