Driving The Future

With General Manager Rebecca Filby

Born in Proserpine in December 1982 and raised in Cannonvale, Rebecca Filby’s roots run deep in the Whitsundays Region. After a brief stint in Townsville at 18, she returned home and has lived across the region—from Cannonvale to Jubilee Pocket, Airlie Beach to Bowen—before settling in Proserpine for the past eight years.

Family is at the heart of Rebecca’s life. Married to Joel Altmann for five years and together for nine, they share two boys, Eric, 7, and Dylan, 4. Their family wouldn’t be complete without their two dogs, Callie, 13, and Benji, 10, who were Rebecca’s ‘first children’. Weekends are often spent travelling, enjoying family vacations at caravan parks, and creating lasting memories with their sons.

Rebecca’s career journey is marked by diversity and success. She began in the Jewellery Industry in 2002, where she quickly distinguished herself, owning a jewellery business and becoming a Diamond Broker by age 24. After nine years in the industry, she transitioned to banking, starting as a Teller with Westpac in Proserpine before advancing to Personal Banker in 2012. Her career continued to rise when she became the Bank Manager in Bowen in 2014, a role she held for four years.

In 2018, Rebecca pivoted to join the family business, a move that allowed her to blend her professional expertise with her passion for family. She started as Financial Controller, progressed to Sales Manager in 2021, and was promoted to General Manager in 2022. Along the way, Rebecca earned a Sales Licence, Motor Dealer Licence, completed Toyota’s two-year Future Dealer Leaders Program, and obtained an Advanced Diploma of Leadership & Management from the Australian Institute of Management (AIM).

Balancing her career with motherhood has been Rebecca’s greatest challenge and most significant accomplishment. She is determined to inspire her sons by exemplifying that success at work can coexist with a fulfilling family life.

Describing herself as outspoken and detail-oriented, Rebecca embodies resilience, dedication, and love in everything she does.
