Colin Evans
Director
I began my career in the agriculture and farming industry across the Tasman before moving to Australia to work for ANZ/Esanda Finance. Five years later, I became a broker and launched my own company in Sydney. You can often find me on the road, meeting and greeting partner dealers and clients. But, if it’s agricultural or farming asset finance you need, I’m only a phone call away.

I understand that applying for finance can seem daunting, so that’s why I go above and beyond in order to set your mind at ease. From your very first enquiry to connecting you with the right finance option to achieving your business goal, I’ll be there to support you.
John Shaw
Global CEO
I hail from New York City and spent 25 years on Wall Street. As the Managing Director of Société Générale, I was responsible for the America’s with the principal risk book and $1 billion daily notional risk. This experience has made me extremely financially literate.
As global CEO, I am both a shareholder and full-time employee, running the US division. The American Loan Market LLC. I divide my time between Australia and the US, and I have big plans for the company. With our expansion, I am responsible for capitalising the lending business in the US, so our clients can have the opportunity to finance with The Asset Finance Shop Pty Ltd or one of our lenders on panel.

Cannot speak highly enough of this company, we had a very quick turnaround process, from start to finish was just over a week. Excellent service and staff could not have been more helpful. Would certainly use them again without question.
We recently needed a new truck at short notice and Colin was the man who organised it all. He was knowledgeable, straight to the point and had us approved and ready to go in no time. We would highly recommend AFS for your next purchase.
I can't Recommend Asset Finance Shop highly enough. Ben and Zac made financing my first piece of Machinery incredibly simple and stress free, and they got sensational results for me. I will always use Asset Finance Shop in the future.
