Customised metal fabrication is a process that involves measuring, cutting, machining and welding any kind of steel materials to specific dimensions, to meet the needs of the customer. A Fabricator will usually be called upon to carry out the work because the requirements of the item can not be met through a commercially available or a standard-sized mass-produced item. This makes a metal workers role extremely diverse as every new job brings a new challenge both from creativity and an engineering standpoint. It was the challenge and reward described above that always interested me, and this interest led me down the path of refining the craft to the point where I decided to start my own fabrication workshop now known as Metalmac. Based in The Hills Shire of north-western Sydney, I provide services to everyone from local domestic and commercial clients, through to onsite maintenance work and welding for larger projects and industrial manufacturing facilities. At Metalmac, all our work and processes are born out of a desire to create the most enjoyable and rewarding experience for our customers as possible. This includes helpful ideas and advice on new job enquiries, highest quality workmanship and great value for money. I works as a one-man operator mostly but have a close alliance with another specialist welding company when required, so you are not paying for the overheads that come with running staff and a large company.

In August 2017 I officially Incorporated Metalmac to service an ongoing Fabrication contract that kept me busy on a Part-Time Basis whilst continuing the day job at Coca-Cola. The seeds for Metalmac in many ways had been planted long ago, from operating Bandsaws, Lathes, Drill Presses, etc, as a wee boy in Grandads workshop (Boilermaker / Fabricator for Hawker De Havilland Aerospace) to being employed at a specialist Welding business servicing Toolmakers in the Injection Moulding Industry prior to Coca-Cola to being actively engaged in residential construction projects especially since 2012 when I moved to Part-Time at Coca-Cola.

After 12 years full-time in various Business Analyst / Key User / Application Support positions at Coca-Cola Amatil I reduced my working hours to Part-Time in 2012 to allow me to better parent whilst pursuing various residential construction projects which culminated in officially establishing Metalmac in early 2017 on a Part-Time basis in parallel with the day job at Coca-Cola.With Metalmac becoming increasingly busy in the period of late 2018 and early 2019 I took the plunge and resigned from Coca-Cola in mid 2019 to pursue this on a Full-Time basis.
