Introducing Tommy (Tuan) Dinh
From Apprentice Chef at an iconic 5-Star Hotel to Relationship Manager at Dealer Finance Group.
This journey has certainly been a recipe of hard work, long hours and a driving determination to
learn new life skills.
Whilst the hospitality industry is a pressure cooker it was also a labour of love for Tommy. Having made the cut as a chef it was time to focus on the future which saw him move to a Team Leader role within the events hire industry with Harry the Hirer. A chef is about learning how to work in a team and team leader is about inspiring and getting the most out of a team. Having worked on both sides is a real asset and a skill used every day.
Tommy answered his entrepreneurial calling becoming a business owner of a now thriving bathroom supply retailer before joining the team at Essendon Finance, now known as Dealer Finance Group.
Mental and physical fitness are important to Tommy, time at the gym and time listening to key influencers are mixed with time with his family. An appetite for hard work and driving successful outcomes are the ingredients that make Tommy a favourite with DFG clients.
