Summary

My time working within the timber industry has allowed me to work in retail as well as wholesale which has given me an insight on how the industry works on all levels from importation down to the end consumer on job sites.

It has given me the skills to not only identify potential problems that may occur but offer solutions based on product and market knowledge.

I have been able to interact with Key decision makers from small business owners such as carpenters on job sites up to state and national sales managers from big companies such as Bunnings.
