After 7 challenging and rewarding years at Tec-NQ I have decided to hang up the "business & leadership books" and retire. I have had the privilege of working with and learning from many talented people who have been engaging and fun to be around.Carol and I have moved to Tasmania, having previously been in NSW (bathurst), in SA (whyalla), and Queensland (townsville) - small place this country called Australia.I am now excited about building my capability as a retiree under the guidance (more like instruction) of my leisure and work leader (My Carol)- this includes property/asset maintenance (mainly cleaning and hoovering) and their continuous improvement (fixing and changing things but only under supervision); catering, gardening and chauffeuring. On my days off I get to play golf. A steep learning curve lies ahead!I wish you all well for the future - whatever it holds for you.

Transforming a government funded into a commercially sustainable education and training business. Challenging but rewarding.

Everyone should manage their own business for a period - it is very revealing and re-energising. Doing what you love everyday is rewarding.

Responsible for Steelmaking and Steel Products divisions. Made Bob Pitts and Richard Clement into star performers (haha).

Moved to Australia to work with the three Oberon businesses. MDF plant was a nightmare

Greenfield site. Build LVL plant. Worked with some really good people. Never knew there was so much technology relating to a piece of wood!
