Steve Esdale

Born and bred in central Queensland, I joined the ANZ bank in Biloela in December 1966 at the ripe age of fifteen. After around twelve years working in the banking industry with stints at Blackwater, Innisfail, Cairns and Rockhampton, I was appointed as one of the two business development officers in Queensland for the banks finance arm, Esanda, which was based in Rockhampton. From this role I was transferred to Brisbane where I had various roles within head office. I was appointed a field services manager covering central Queensland in 1985 and then as the district manager for central Queensland until July 1997 when I opted to take a redundancy following a restructure. I married Cheryl in 1979 and have four children who have all grown up in Rockhampton. I am a keen fisherman and also enjoy a game of golf. My many years in the finance industry has equipped me for my current role at Esdale Sinclair & Associates and I get a great deal of satisfaction in being able to help people with their finance needs and grow their business.

Wayne Sinclair

I was born in Rockhampton and have lived in the central Queensland area ever since.

My working life began in December 1978 with the ANZ Banking Group in Rockhampton, starting as a teller and progressing to an assistant manager's role in the loans department at Moranbah. During my progression with the ANZ Bank I also worked at Theodore, and moved from there to Relieving Staff servicing Central Highlands and Rockhampton branches.

After working and living in Moranbah for five and a half years, I was offered a transfer to Esanda Finance in Rockhampton which made my fiancé (now my wife), Megan very happy. Working at Esanda gave me the opportunity to obtain the skills necessary to succeed in organising lending proposals for a wide variety of businesses.

My career with the ANZ Group/Esanda ended in July 1997 and a new phase of life began with self employment.

Both Megan and I enjoy living in the central Queensland region and find raising our daughter and son a daily challenge. When time is on my side, my goal is to catch a barra in the Fitzroy River.

Dennis Esdale

I was born in Rockhampton and have spent most of my life in the central Queensland region. I joined Esdale Sinclair & Associates in 1999 while completing the final year of my business degree at Central Queensland University. During my time at Esdale Sinclair & Associates I have gained experience in all forms of finance and have enjoyed dealing with the challenge of meeting the needs of our diverse client base. Having "retired" from playing rugby league and basketball, my leisure activities include touch football and the odd game of golf.

Peter "Macca" MacDonald

Raised and educated in Rockhampton I started my working life with Humes Ltd as a clerk before joining Dalgety in their merchandise department.

After marrying in November 1970 I joined AGC Limited where I stayed for 29 years working in such places as Mackay, Brisbane (3 branches) Gladstone and then returned back to Rockhampton.

A keen sportsman both as a participant and spectator, these days this is confined to social golf and fishing. My other interests lie in the appreciation of fine wine and home cooking.

Talk about old dogs and new tricks! Each day I find an application to be new and varied which is truly both refreshing and challenging. If this is work what was I doing all those other years.
