Nick’s extensive building industry and project management experience, combined with local knowledge has been a real asset to the continued smooth operation of the franchise. Tara, who has an administration background, ensures all builds go smoothly from the office end. Within the business there are dedicated sales, contracts management and building teams to support people through every step of the building process.
