I joined RailCon in 2008 after having worked at one of the largest rail companies in Australia. A bold career move most certainly, but it’s the best move I have ever made. RailCon reflects my own philosophies on what makes a success in this industry. I believe in RailCon’s business ethics, integrity and personal commitment to servicing customers. This is what sets us apart.
RailCon has solid foundations in place and is poised to move into a period of greater growth. Being part of that process really excites me. With change there is challenge. Recognising the need to modify and develop practices, implementing new strategies while maintaining our original strengths and qualities, both motivates and inspires me.
It’s a team environment here. We are all heading in the same direction: to make sure that RailCon asserts its niche position within the rail industry. I am dedicated to ensuring that RailCon is known as the contractor of choice and the employer of choice.
I am proud of RailCon’s holistic approach to our business, our clients and our Business Partnerships. Being part of a company that values a creative, innovative approach and who are well respected in a competitive industry is important to me and I look forward to consolidated growth and our very successful future.
