Our Team are highly skilled experts specialising in wearplate.
We are a tight knit team who have been working and collaborating together for a very long time, some since the very beginning.
Leadership Team
Gerry – founder, owner and Director.
He’s been in this business longer than he would like to admit but there is absolutely nothing he does’t know about wearplate. Moving forward with technology is terrific, but sometimes you just have to go old school and he’s one of the few left that can do it. If you sneak a look over Gerry’s shoulder you may just catch him writing cnc code, formulae and free handing designs off the top of his head which is pretty cool. Gerry is a real McCoy original in the industry.
Dave – Supervising Coordinator Production
He’s across everything including design, the production schedule, keeping our customers up to date and final quality checks before it gets loaded on the truck on its way to you. Dave has been with us for nearly a decade, starting out on the factory floor he really understands everything there is to know about the product and wearplate fabrication. Moving into the drivers seat was a natural progression for Dave, he runs a very tight ship, is a great leader and one of the most organised minds you will ever met. Watching Dave change gears to coordinate a million things at once is pretty impressive.
Shane – Senior Boiler Maker
We reckon its not a stretch to say that Shane is probably one of the best in the country at what he does. More than a highly skilled and qualified tradesman, he can spin out boutique requests like works of art and run the big production plate at almost unbelievable quality and speed. Shane has been with us since the beginning and his expertise in wearplate is second to no one.
Steve – Technical Lead
There is absolutely nothing this guy can’t fix and is one of the most humble and smartest guys any of us have every met. The king of plasma cutting he also specialises in wearplate cnc, plant, machinery and maintenance. Steve has also recently starting working with Kyra bringing programs development into reality and with Gerry and Dave in the design phase of production, surprising no one with serious talent across CAD design and CAM programing and solidifying his standing in the company as the creative genius.
Production Crew
Our team also includes a skilled production crew. Our leadership team is always looking to increase knowledge and skill diversity of the production crew by working closely with them to ensure our speciality and expertise custom product and service is maintained to the highest standards for our customers.
