About Telmah Finance

Meet the Brisbane finance brokers who know the commercial equipment financing industry inside and out.

Jeff Graham

Director

Jeff has worked in the finance industry since 1974 and has been a Brisbane finance broker, specialising in equipment finance, since 1988.

Jeff’s many years of experience are an asset to any business that requires commercial equipment finance. It is this level of experience, which enables Jeff to match his clients with the best possible products that most appropriately satisfy their needs.

Jeff has a large and diverse client base, and has been involved with a large number of his clients since the birth of Telmah Finance. Jeff attributes his success to always putting his clients needs first and foremost. And, he believes this, combined with his totally ethical approach, is the reason why 85% of Telmah Finance Brokers’ business is repeat business.

Outside of work, Jeff’s interests are his family, motorsports and surfing.

Tom Carden

Director

Tom has worked in the finance industry since 2012 after graduating from QUT with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Business. Throughout this time in business and corporate banking with a Big 4 Bank, Tom has learned the importance of long-term relationships in business and the value of having quality advisors by your side. Noticing the lack of longevity in bankers, Tom decided to join Telmah Finance to provide clients with a finance partner who’s in it for the long haul.

Tom prides himself on his customer centric approach and problem solving ability which ensures no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of the perfect financing arrangements for clients.

Having assisted clients across a wide range of industries from property developers to bakeries and from manufacturers to law firms, Tom enjoys getting to know each and every business and what drives both business and owner.

Tom enjoys watching or participating in anything sport related and plays cricket and cycles when he can. Having travelled to all continents except Antarctica, Tom loves to experience different cultures (and food).

John McGill

Commercial Finance Broker

John has worked in the finance industry since 1982. After working for the Commonwealth Bank for 18 years, John entered the Equipment Finance Broker Industry in 2000 and has been with Telmah Finance, Brisbane, since 2006.

John believes that his long-term industry experience – specialising in equipment finance – is what makes him so effective when it comes to assisting his clients with their equipment finance needs.

Over the years, John has brokered finance for clients across all industries – for a wide and varied range of heavy equipment – using his knowledge of the various lenders’ policies to make the whole process as quick and seamless as possible.

Outside of work, John enjoys playing Softball and Beach Volleyball and is also a long time member of the Brisbane Lions. Other interests include reptile keeping, where he has a collection of Australian Pythons.
