Our Team: Experienced Finance for Migrants

Royston Finance was founded in early 2023 by Ian Brown, a migrant from the UK who arrived in Australia in late 2022. Ian previously spent eight years in motor finance and construction and recycling finance at a London bank.

After witnessing firsthand how some finance brokerages and dealerships in Australia operated, with poor compliance, inconsistent customer standards, and little support for migrants seeking loan options, Ian became frustrated by the industry's low standards and its failure to serve a diverse clientele. He was determined to build something better.

Ian founded his own brokerage with a clear mission: to help migrants secure their first car finance in Australia, and to grow with them as their finance needs expand.

What sets Ian's service apart is not just professionalism. It is personal experience. Having walked the same path himself, Ian brings genuine empathy and firsthand understanding to every conversation. His guidance goes beyond the transaction, shaped by real world challenges he has faced himself. It is this perspective that turns the relationship between broker and client into a genuine partnership.

Since starting the company, Ian has helped hundreds of customers from all over the world secure finance. Royston Finance is now building a team to support more migrating customers. In July 2025, Ian welcomed Ketan Gardener to the team, who also migrated from the UK.

The plan is to keep growing the team, building a company run and operated by migrants, for migrants.
