I joined Grays in 2015 as a Business Development Manager. The business sells auction services to the construction, transport, and industrial sectors and is very male dominated.

I am a tenacious hard-working individual and really submerged myself in learning all aspects of the business from the start.

Seven years on I am a member of the Senior Leadership team and am responsible for leading the Victorian and South Australian Industrial Teams.

I have led major sales projects through various sales channels and have developed a solid customer base including many Irish Australian construction businesses, priding myself on building excellent long term professional relationships.

In Feb 2021 I moved to Victoria to take up my current role with COVID Restrictions quickly making business operations quite challenging.

I had to quickly pick up the reigns and learn as I progressed. I was unfamiliar with the local market and the prospective customer base having spent a decade in Brisbane. My strategy was to focus the team on what we could control, ensuring they were supported and growing the business in a uniquely challenging time.

Despite all the obstacles that were thrown, I am very proud of our business achievements and our growth in market share. This was made possible by a testament to hard work, a focused supportive team and unambiguous leadership. I am passionate about leading people and seeing them thrive, I have a strong belief that diversity makes us better.
