What is your role here at Rabobank?
I am a Rural Manager. I support my clients to maintain and grow their businesses, and to assist them in managing any challenges that may be presented.
How do you help our clients?
Good old fashioned planning. Clients usually get fairly excited when we work through their budgets and can start to see the next phase of their operation coming to fruition. As someone who is very excited by agriculture, I get a kick out of seeing what a farming business might become in 12 months time or further on.
There have already been some examples where I have worked with clients who have bought more sheep, or built sheds or leased or bought some really nice farms - and are beginning to reap the rewards – it’s very exciting.
What makes Rabobank different for you?
The highlight of my role is being with farmers on farm, to help support and run their businesses. I enjoy being a business partner to many clients, and enjoy seeing their endeavours come to fruition.
What I enjoy most about my job is I get to spend my time talking all things rural and business, because that is our single focus at Rabobank. Wherever you are across Australia; the commodities might change and the issues or opportunities might be slightly different - but farms are still farms and farming is still farming.
