Meet The Team
Luke
Luke is a qualified Fitter and Machinist by trade, loves the thought of business and the grind to build brand recognition and sustainable business. Whilst he's not in the shop he is on the hustle looking for the next adventure, beer in hand.
Adam
Adam is a qualified Fitter and Machinist, he always tests out the new toys in the shop first before we can have a play. Adam enjoys a nice ale on a sunny day and occasionally taking the boat out.
Ethan
Ethan is an Apprentice Fitter and Machinist commencing in 2020, always has a keen eye out for the next investment whether it be from stocks to crypto. He is pretty cluey on the computers, our own little Bill Gates in the making.
Josh
Josh is an Apprentice Fitter and Machinist commencing in 2021, he could sell you the socks you are wearing but currently has more of an interest in how to make them. Josh will ask you the questions, so you better know your stuff before you have a chat.
Zona
Zona is pretty good at sticking two bits of metal together with his Fab trade already, but wants to know how to make the components, he has taken on a dual Apprenticeship to learn Fitting and Machining. In his spare time when allowed, he likes to try and "play" some golf.
Julian
Julian is an Apprentice Heavy Fabricator commencing late 2022, I guess he wanted to pursue his passion in heavy metal but got his mig wires slightly crossed, none the less he lets us listen to it in the shop every day. If you need to know a good burger or pizza joint, hit the dude up.
