Ian Van Gelderen

Coffs Harbour,NSW

Summary

Completed Certificate III in Carpentry while undertaking night school in building and construction management. After completion I owned and ran a state wide franchise where I was responsible for every detail from design, estimating, quoting through to completion of specialised building works. During this time I increased business turn over year on year while also learning the valuable skills required to maintain and grow business relationships as well as working independently and in a team environment.
Taking on several project homes in the mid-North coast area over the last few years has kept my foot in the building arena with local building codes and construction costs.
Current drivers license.
