Being an integral part of an industry-leading firm specialising in fire protection, my role as Operations Director at Australian Fire Industries involves managing the operations team to ensure compliance and efficient service, for the end-user, within the client budget. I manage utilisation of the business recourses, and estimate and expand on our current customer base.My focused leadership and management skills combined with technical knowledge have enabled recent AFI developments such as expanding on our current BHP contract, working on developing and rolling out software efficiencies within the business, contributing to ISO certification, and building on our current relationship with Plummer’s Industries, electrical switchboard manufacturers.I’m always driving the AFI team to ensure excellence within the fire industry, and I know we’ve earned our impeccable reputation through hard work. Pushing for business growth and exposure in the fire sector is only possible if we remain at the forefront of industry innovations. This way we assist clients in understanding that service and technical ability should be a major consideration, on par with costs. My expertise allows me to consistently deliver in regards to fire protection, fire technology, fire system technical support, mining fire service integrations, fire system audits, mining, and gaseous suppression. I enjoy working with mid to large mining companies, switch room manufacturers, and an assortment of specialist firms across a multitude of industries.I’m a friendly communicator who loves talking shop. The work we do matters and this gives me the drive to connect with as many companies as possible. For more than seven years I’ve introduced the potential benefits of our fire protection design, installation, inspection, maintenance and optimisation services to potential clients. Being a provider of security and fire solution services motivates me to be the absolute best, because our efforts contribute to saving lives.
