With the recent devastating floods affecting a wide range of businesses in Queensland, QPF Finance Group decided to raise funds for some of our worst affected clients. For the month of February all of our brokers contributed $50 for every finance transaction settled and QPF Head Office matched these contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Pleasingly we raised a combined total of $14,600 which was a fantastic effort.
As a group QPF decided to split the funds four ways in an attempt to direct the money to some of QPF’s clients who needed it most. As some of our offices are located in severely affected areas, the decision was made to allow each of these branches to nominate a client they felt needed immediate financial assistance.
QPF Brisbane Office - $3,650 donated to the Eagle Boys Dayboro store, a premise which was completely submerged in the QLD floods. The owner of this store unfortunately had lost all of his equipment and, with his insurance claim rejected, had been left to personally fund the new fit out and replacement equipment.
QPF Chinchilla Office - $3,650 donated to a local earthmover who was just getting back on his feet after his house was flooded twice. An excavator he had recently finished paying off was also flooded and needed major repairs.
QPF Wide Bay Office - $3,650 donated to a local farmer whose first crops were completely destroyed. The farmer also lost all of his irrigation equipment and needed to replace a number of property fences and gates.
QPF Gatton Office – $3,650 donated to the ‘Grantham Flood Relief’ fund. This fund was set up locally to assist in the rebuilding of the Grantham community – an area which was badly devastated by the floods, leaving many people without loved ones or homes.
Thank you to all the QPF brokers who supported this initiative. Our thoughts and best wishes are with all the families and businesses affected by the floods.
