Lewis Richardson
Finance Broker
Known to clients and colleagues as “Richo”, Lewis Richardson has spent more than a decade building his career in equipment and commercial finance with QPF. He joined QPF at 20 through the business’s early graduate pathway, progressing through operations and broker support before becoming a full-time finance broker in November 2017.
That experience has given Lewis a strong understanding of the finance process from end to end — from structuring a deal and presenting it to lenders through to settlement. He works with sole traders, family-owned businesses and established SMEs across industries including agriculture, construction, transport, civil, earthmoving, manufacturing and trades. His experience spans equipment and vehicle finance, working capital and a range of commercial lending solutions.
Lewis is particularly proud of the long-term relationships he has built with his clients, helping businesses progress from financing their first vehicle or piece of equipment to funding larger fleets, new contracts and broader commercial facilities. His approach is simple: understand the client, understand the opportunity and find a practical finance solution to support their next stage of growth.
Lewis holds a Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking, the Commercial Lending and Finance Professional (CLFP) qualification and a Bachelor of Business from QUT.
Outside of finance, Richo is QPF’s resident sports guru. He plays touch football, follows the Queensland Reds avidly and is rarely short of an opinion — or a historical fact — when it comes to sport.

Big shout-out to Lewis Richardson at QPF Finance and Insurance 👊 Lewis has helped us finance through all our companies which includes Crushers, Excavators, Tip Trucks , Skip Trucks, Skip Bins and Skid steers .We've got several jobs on the go including earthmoving , site cleans, skip bins plus a run of sandstone and rock crushing jobs lined up for our RM 70 and Komplet Crusher— all of it made possible because Lewis got the finance sorted quickly and without the usual runaround. If you're in civil, quarrying or recycling and you're looking at getting gear on the ground, do yourself a favour and give Lewis a call. He actually understands the industry and what the machines are for. Cheers mate — much appreciated. Recycling King Australia Skip King Recycling Proficient SiteworksPosted on Google

We highly recommend Lewis Richardson and QPF Finance Group. Do yourself a favour and give them a go! Our Company has used QPF Finance for well over a decade now and have always found Lewis Richardson and the team at QPF Finance Group to provide outstanding service. In fact, from the first phone call, right through the entire process, it is just so smooth and efficient. And the team has access to great finance rates and terms as well. Lewis even personalised our loan structure to best serve our needs based on his knowledge of our business use (and we didn't even have to ask). Lewis just came up with the strategy, explained it to us and asked if we would like to take advantage of the offered structure. This saved us set up costs and allowed us a great deal of flexibility within the loan. We cannot recommend Lewis Richardson and QPF Finance Group enough! Another big thanks to Lewis and the team at QPF Finance Group.Posted on Google
