Gary Castledine

Gary Castledine’s stellar career in capital markets spans more than 25 years. He has expertise in stockbroking, corporate advisory

and investment banking.

He and his fellow Westar Capital directors are high net worth and institutional specialists.

Gary has participated in a range of capital raisings and IPOs across a broad spectrum of industries. He thrives on working with young mining companies and helping them transition into successful, high-value organisations.

His expertise lies in his ability to organise the capital and corporate structuring of each transaction to facilitate the investment banking to take a project to market.

Gary’s vision for Westar was to bring together a team of like-minded people to create an organisational culture founded on trust, reliability and honesty.

‘We wanted to do things differently when we established Westar Capital – so we work with people to generate success for all of us. We back projects we believe in and that means, when a deal goes ahead we put money into it – we always invest alongside our clients.’

Gary’s finance career started in 1993. After a decade spent developing his skills as a stockbroker, he moved into a corporate advisory role, where he became involved in investment banking.

Before establishing Westar Capital, Gary was founder, Chairman and MD of Indian Ocean Capital, a successful, specialist boutique securities dealer and corporate advisory firm.

Gary is active in contributing to his community and has been a long-time supporter of Parkerville Children and Youth Care (Inc). He joined their Finance Committee in 2009 and has been on the Board of Directors since 2012.
