A former director of collapsed white goods company Kleenmaid has been sentenced to nine years in prison.

Bradley Wendell Young was found guilty of fraud and 17 counts of insolvent trading by a Brisbane District Court jury last week.

He was found to have dishonestly obtained a $13 million loan from Westpac, and to have incurred debts of around $4.2 million while insolvent.

Kleenmaid, based on the Sunshine Coast, employed about 200 people before going into voluntary administration in early 2009.

It later went into liquidation owing creditors $96 million.

Young was a director at the time.

In sentencing, Judge Brad Farr said Young failed to show any remorse for his conduct.

"You showed a callous disregard for the fortunes of those affected by your behaviour," Judge Farr said.

"This all occurred in the context of you risking other people's money in extraordinary amounts.

"It is offending conduct that can potentially wreak havoc on a business community."

Judge Farr noted a large number of positive references, and Young's involvement in leadership positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He accepted that the offences were committed in an attempt to keep the business alive, and that Young was not motivated by personal greed.

The defence argued in court that the offences were an "aberration and out of character".

Judge Farr accepted the defence submission that Young posed a negligible risk of reoffending.

He will be eligible for parole on November 5, 2022.

In October last year another former director, Gary Collyer Armstrong, was sentenced to seven years' jail after pleading guilty to one count of fraud and two counts of insolvent trading.

Judge Farr today said that there were significant distinguishing features between the two matters, including Armstrong's guilty plea and that Armstrong was "subservient" to Young in the company.
