Brief History
Carl started his working life working for SGIO insurance in 1984 after finishing year 12 at St Brendan’s College an all boys boarding school in Yeppoon. In 1987 he started a degree in business (majoring in Marketing) which was completed in 1990. From there he started with Esanda Finance Corporation Limited in Rockhampton with Steve Esdale as the Manager. With Esanda he travelled to Hervey Bay and Traralgon in Victoria. In 1997 Carl took a retrenchment from Esanda and started as a commercial finance broker for new firm Esdale Sinclair & Associates Pty Ltd (finance brokers) in Rockhampton.
After 3 years as a finance broker Carl and Helen Weston moved to Gladstone and started Esdale Sinclair and Associates Gladstone Pty Ltd, finance brokers & managers of Pioneer Permanent Building Society Gladstone. In 2005 Carl and Helen assumed full ownership of the business, rebranding to Austral Lending Solutions in 2008. During the last 21 years Carl and Helen have bought and sold real estate all over the state, had two children and renovated their current business premises, to make it the modern office complex it is today. Helen Weston (Nee Buchanan) grew up in Gladstone and is related to many of the pioneers of the Gladstone region.
