Accomplishments

    The past ten years I have been with Xtend Outdoors. My role in the beginning was scheduling work for the fitters and myself. After 2 years myself and our team setup the business via IPad as we were Australia wide. I also was involved in improving work efficacy and sharing my knowledge to better improve the company. I was on the tools hands on training and teaching, solving faults and issues.

    I lived in Melbourne and l was based in Melbourne although the head office is in Queensland. I recently moved to Queensland permanently.
