Gavin Wheeler

Townsville

Summary

Highly motivated family man, honest and reliable with a wide range of competencies. I have owned 3 successful businesses which I sold in 2023 so I could travel with my wife. After taking some time off I am keen to get back into the workforce and have always enjoyed a challenge. As a business owner for many years, I understand what an employer is looking for and aim to achieve this as an employee.
