Izabelle Hunt

Izabelle Hunt

New Car Delivery Specialist

I have more than five years' experience in the automotive industry, having previously worked for BMW and Mercedes-Benz in roles across service desk, vehicle purchasing and vehicle valuations. I’m deeply customer-focused and approach interactions with empathy, ensuring customers feel heard, valued, and supported. Effective communication is extremely important to me, so I place a strong emphasis on building genuine rapport and meaningful connections with all of my customers. I consistently strive to go above and beyond in my commitment to advocating for customers. Cars, sports and film are my passions outside of work and consume much of my time on weekends. In both my professional and personal life, I’m driven by a genuine desire to support others and create a sense of comfort and trust.

My career in the financial industry has spanned more than 10 years, working in brokerage firms with a specialist focus on regulatory compliance and financial products. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family and travelling to iconic destinations. I’m also a bit of a foodie, so you’ll usually find me eating out at a nice restaurant or trying my hand at the latest culinary dish. I believe that being real and relatable to my customers is important in building relationships, and I’m committed to making the customer experience as seamless and easy as possible.

Finance Specialist

For more than 30 years, I've worked across diverse financial products. What I love most about my job is getting to work with a variety of people who are all at different stages of reaching their financial goals. I'm passionate about cars and motorbikes and even own a retro Honda CB400 with VTEC. I enjoy spending time with my family and always aim to be the best human I can possibly be. 'Work hard, play hard' is my motto, and it has certainly been a successful mantra because each day brings a new complex finance problem to solve.

Leah Hatcher

Leah Hatcher

New Car Specialist

With several years in retail automotive, I've learned that the best buying experiences come down to really understanding people: what they need, what matters to them, and how to make the process feel easy. My passion for cars started young, holding the flashlight for Dad in the garage. Today my partner and I build JDM cars together, so that enthusiasm carries into every conversation I have with customers. My approach is simple: treat people the way I'd want to be treated, with respect, transparency, and real support every step of the way.

New Car Specialist

With five years in automotive, I focus on making the buying experience straightforward, supportive, and easy to navigate from beginning to end. Outside work, I enjoy riding bikes, spending time with my kids, and getting in a good gaming session with mates. My philosophy is simple: customers are the foundation of our business, and every one of them deserves to be treated like the most important person in the room.

Jacob Waters

Jacob Waters

New Car Specialist

I learned the ropes across sales and aftercare at Hyundai, and the biggest lesson was this: honest communication makes the whole process easier for everyone. I'm here to help you find the right car for you, not just the flashiest one. If you appreciate someone who's upfront, responsive, and focused on making things smooth, you'll be in good hands. And if you're juggling young kids, same here — so I really do understand the need for efficiency.

Jackson Hunt

Jackson Hunt

New Car Specialist

Brisbane-raised with a Melbourne upbringing, I've always loved connecting with people from all walks of life, and that shapes how I approach every customer conversation. The car world has been mine since counting down to my licence at 15. The 4x4 scene is where my passion runs deepest, though an Audi RS6 is firmly on the dream list — and I'm a devoted Boston Celtics fan, in case you want a long conversation. With nine years of customer service behind me, I joined CarExpert to bring a genuine people-first approach to helping Australians find their next new car.

Hamish Terry

Hamish Terry

New Car Specialist

Before moving into automotive, I spent eight years in luxury watches, where I learned how much craftsmanship, detail, and personal service matter when you're making a meaningful purchase. Buying a car is no different. My job is to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and excited about your choice from the very first conversation. And if you're into music, we'll get along well — I've been playing guitar for more than twenty years.

David Robinson

David Robinson

New Car Specialist

Over the last five years I've sold everything from Mitsubishi to Ferrari, and the one thing I believe in most is service worth telling your friends about. I'm here to understand what you actually need, give honest guidance, and help you feel confident in your choice without pressure or sales spin. The experience I aim for is personal, helpful, and memorable — the kind you'll genuinely want to recommend.

Daniel Wright

Daniel Wright

New Car Specialist

With more than two decades in automotive, I know how to make the buying process simple, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable for every customer who comes my way. Outside work, I'm a proud Brisbane Lions supporter and spend a lot of my time playing bass across a few different music projects. My approach is to do the small things well, follow through on what I say, and stay accountable every step of the way — so the bigger things take care of themselves.

Craig Nicholson

Craig Nicholson

New Car Specialist

With 28 years in the automotive industry, I've built my career on one belief: the customer comes first, always. People remember how the experience felt, and that's where I focus. Outside work, you'll find me on my motorbike, watching the footy, or tuned into the NFL. The energy I bring to the things I love is the same energy I bring to work every day. What you'll get from me is a great deal, every step looked after, and a process that feels smooth, transparent, and worth your time.

Blair Greasley

New Car Specialist

With more than five years in automotive, I focus on making the buying process smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. Outside work you'll find me restoring vintage cars and motorcycles, or out cooking, travelling, taking photos, or volunteering — all things that keep me curious and detail-focused. My promise is straightforward: save you time, communicate clearly, and make sure you feel confident and well looked after the whole way through.

Aaron Knowles

Aaron Knowles

New Car Specialist

With more than 15 years in customer service across retail, ski resorts, and high-volume environments, I've learned how much it matters to really understand what someone needs before recommending anything. Outside work, I'm hooked on go-karting and motorsport, so the wider automotive world is genuine territory for me, not just a job. What you can expect is steady, approachable service: clear communication, personalised guidance, and a process that feels simple and worth your time from start to finish.

Team Leader - NSW, ACT

I joined the automotive industry in February 1996 as a Toyota sales trainee in Sydney, and I haven't looked back since. Over three decades I've built experience across sales, training, and customer service with brands like Toyota, Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. After 30 years I was ready for a fresh challenge, and CarExpert has reignited a passion I didn't expect. My philosophy is simple: love what you do and be the best at it. That means listening carefully, understanding what matters to you, and building the kind of trust that brings customers back.

Joshua Harris

Joshua Harris

Team Leader - VIC, SA, TAS

I grew up on a farm in North-West Tasmania surrounded by tractors, motorbikes, and utes, so cars have been part of my DNA from day one. Today I use that lifelong love of all things mechanical to help you enjoy a completely stress-free buying experience. If you know exactly what you want, great — I'll find it. If you're still deciding, take your time and I'll guide you without pressure. And if you like a laugh, I spent time in the comedy scene, so good banter is guaranteed.

Michael Barnes

Michael Barnes

Team Leader - QLD, NT, WA

With 15 years in the auto industry, including time working with Nissan overseas, I've helped hundreds of customers navigate exactly this process. My philosophy is simple: I listen first, always. When you feel heard and supported, we find the right answer faster. I'm here to make things straightforward and pressure-free, backed by real experience and a genuine care for getting it right for you.
