We are back and what a great start to February 🙌
Over the past week, we have been working closely with YellowGate Group on a unique scenario for a mining client operating in both wet and dry hire. We were exploring the possibility of a rent-to-own solution—and then, as these things often do, the situation escalated quickly.
Late Thursday night, we received a call: a new job had just landed, equipment needed to be sourced, financed, and delivered to site by Tuesday for operations to commence. From that moment, Justin at YellowGate Group and Chanel went straight into action.
By Friday morning, a full application was submitted. Justin immediately made the necessary calls, sourced a 2017 Caterpillar 980M Wheel Loader, completed all required checks with the credit team, and kept things moving at pace. The equipment was inspected over the weekend, approval came through on Monday, documents were finalised, settlement completed, supplier paid via RTGS—and by Monday night, the loader was on a truck, arriving at the mine 4am Tuesday morning.
The level of service provided by YellowGate Group was above and beyond anything we have experienced.
As a broker, truly understanding your client and their business is critical. Some clients move fast, need solutions yesterday, and rely on you to be ready at a moment’s notice. That means knowing which lenders are best suited, having up-to-date information, and being able to submit a strong, complete application within hours.
In situations like this, you need a broker who goes above and beyond — and a lender who does the same.
Today, we are definitely riding a high 🚀
Huge thank you to Justin and the team at YellowGate Group for delivering when it mattered most.
