Sherreena Rizvi-Gay

Director

I started in the Finance and Insurance industry with one of the largest car dealerships in 1999. I have worked with in most facets of the dealership and in the last 7 years of my career. I was appointed as the Group Finance and Insurance Manager and oversaw 14 staff members.

In 2016, I branched out on my own and established Project 1 Finance.

In my spare time, my Husband and I have two horses in which we spend time with them whenever we can. I also have two dogs and two hairless cats. Our family love holidaying at the South Coast.

All in all, we are an extremely professional Team of Finance Executives that are looking forward to helping you with your finance requirements.

Jess Heffernan

Lending Executive

I’ve worked in the Motor Car Industry for 5+ years and loved every minute of it, I didn’t think my career could get any better until I got offered the Role of Finance Manager – where I really thrived!

Working in Finance gives me a great sense of pride knowing that everyday I am helping people achieve their dreams.

Prior to dealership life I worked in radio for 4 years and I’m qualified to do commercial television and radio voiceover, this gave me the confidence to communicate (and maybe talk too much!) with people from all walks of life!

Don’t let the red lipstick fool you, I’m just a fun-loving country girl at heart and when I’m not working you’ll usually find me in the garden or out camping with my partner, stepson and 2 German Shepherds.

As a finance broker I work hard at sourcing the best and most suitable package that will suit your individual requirements.

I am currently studying in the field of Paramedicine, in which I look forward to volunteering in my neighbourhood once completed.

I have a friendly and understanding nature and always strive the best for my clients. I enjoy the outdoors and sunshine and love exploring different Nature parks with my family on the weekends.
