Over my 30 year career, I have been involved in hands-on account & management roles in large manufacturing companies such as Reln Plastics & ACI Glass Packaging. For ACI, I was employed as National Recycling & Environment Manager, based in Hawthorn, Victoria, where I was responsible for the procurement of recycled glass from around the country.More recently, I have applied my skills to business brokerage in Newcastle. I have over thirteen years’ experience negotiating sales for all types of SMEs ranging from small hospitality businesses to $10M plus manufacturing concerns.I have a vast knowledge of the local market conditions and the current economic drivers for sales of businesses.With qualifications and a discipline in accounting, my approach to selling businesses is pragmatic, aligning the best interests of vendors with market reality.I enjoy working with business owners and prospective buyers/investors who are prepared to properly plan ahead the sale/purchase of a business, as in my experience, much can be be gained by behaving proactively, rather than making a decision to sell/buy based on necessity.Specialties: Negotiation, Client liaison and Sales
