I am proud and excited to join ACWA in the role of Business Manager taking over the stellar path laid by Doug Cross. I bring over twenty years in operational and strategic growth management of small to large organisations across Australia and am passionate about adding real value to businesses that I work with.
I live in Torquay Victoria with my family and when not working I am the forever cheerful chauffeur of two teenagers and I also try to spend as much time as possible camping by the water.
I am especially looking forward to working with our members to continue to support your growth and also continue to grow the value that ACWA has the potential to provide your business and the car wash industry as it continues to grow. Please feel free to reach out to me for a discussion about how I may be able to benefit you and your business or the industry as a whole.
I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to catch up with as many of you as I can over the coming weeks and months and also to join you at Car Wash Show Australia 2026, Adelaide from October 13th – 15th.
In the meantime, help me to help you – please take 2 minutes to complete this short survey to enhance your ACWA Membership experience.
