OUR TEAM

Lawrence began his executive career in sales with Xerox Canada. Leading a regional Xerox Sales Team, he trained staff, providing guidance on how to sell and close, then transitioned to Xerox Sales Trainer, with Finance being an additional tool.

The organic nature of Equipment Asset Purchase and Financing led to Lawrence founding Hampton Group Leasing Inc. in Canada. For over ten years Hampton Group Leasing was a Vehicle and Equipment Finance Company, until the business was sold and family brought him to Australia in 1998.

The same year, Lawrence founded the Australian company Hampton Group Finance (HGF). Since that time HGF has supported an impressive customer base and has provided tailored, personalized financial services to its customers. In 2006 Hampton Group Finance transitioned to FINMAX Finance and now specialises in Equipment Asset and Vehicle Finance.

Working tirelessly to get the best deal for his clients Lawrence Jr. has a great ability to deal with people and get a complete understanding of his clients' needs. You won't find Lawrence spending too much time in the office because he would much rather be out in the field with his clients getting to know them, their families & their businesses.
