Employment History

Aug 2006 present Operations/Contracts Manager

To date I have been employed for just over 3 years with bluestone Interior Solutions.
This job was created as a new job within a new company. This company wanted to get
into shopfitting and asked me to join the company to arrange the shopfitting side of the
business. Along with one of the Directors who was to create the sales I started to get
accounts opened with suppliers and sub contractors. I got a designer organized the
paper work and brought in the first six months of work into bluestone.
Working on site myself along with subcontractors managed to get the company started,
at the same time I undertook to do the quotations, all site surveys and purchasing of all
materials for the shopfitting side of the company. As business got going I employed two
joiners who had been with me for over 15 years to do the shop fit outs leaving me time
to organize the work. Over this last three years the business has been successfully
 fitting out many different type of outlets answering only to myself my daily duties were
