Before joining Up Loans, Joel enjoyed many years in the banking industry across ANZ and NAB, starting in Cairns in beautiful Far North Queensland before moving back to Tasmania. Starting out in branch land at ANZ, Joel soon found his way into Small Business Banking and enjoyed the variety and speed in this area. Helping businesses from start-ups to well-established industry leaders, Joel enjoys the customer connections with his clients and providing timely support. Joel has helped clients in a variety of industries from tourism and hospitality, trades, retail, service providers, and almost everything in between. At home, Joel has a son who is full of energy and cheekiness, a Beagle who enjoys eating even more than Joel, and his lovely wife Victoria. In his spare time Joel enjoys cooking, travelling, all things sport, and spending time with his family in the Huon Valley in Southern Tasmania.
Up Specialties
Joel’s extensive experience allows him to work through the complexities of small business lending to provide clear and concise advice and support to his clients. Joel’s most consistently rewarding aspect of the job is supporting passionate self-employed clients realise their dreams of business success and home ownership, and nothing delights him more than providing a client with a timely and appropriate loan approval.
Joel’s Property Journey
Joel’s property journey started with his first home purchase in Cairns, a renovation and flip job that was equally challenging and enjoyable. Joel has since purchased 2 properties in the Huon Valley, and currently lives on a rural lifestyle property 5 minutes from Huonville with his family, some sheep, ducks, and chickens (miniature goats coming shortly).
Charitable Donation: Each month the Up Loans team chooses to make a charitable donation based on the number of loans written and team member contributions. Joel chose: Ronald McDonald House.
