North Construction & Building, based at Tuggerah, is going from strength to strength, with two new Board members appointed.
Nicole Redmond and Mark Chase have been appointed Director – People, Culture & Corporate Services and Director – Business Operations respectively.
They join Managing Director Matthew Cook, Director – Estimating Ray Millar and Director – Construction Operations John Melvin as members of the expanded board, while Sarah Wouters, Finance Manager, takes on the role of Company Secretary.
These latest organisational changes follow on from the expansion of the company shareholder group last year from 12 to 15 employees with Chase, Systems Manager Tom Glynn and Senior Project Manager Specialist Projects John Wild all buying into the business.
“North has come a long way since its beginning in 1987, where we were based out of a small office in North Gosford,” Managing Director Matthew Cook said.
“With growth and expansion also comes the need to adapt our business operations to best serve our employees, trade contractor partners and clients, as well as ensure our business continues to thrive for the next 35 years and beyond.
“This expansion is a further step to ensuring that happens.
“Nicole has been an integral part of North since 2011 and I’ve appreciated working alongside her for all those years with her valued input and leadership helping to make North what it is today.
“Mark joined North in 2019 and since that time, he’s been an invaluable member of the senior management team given his immense industry experience.
“Leadership and governance in any business is incredibly important.
“We are laying the framework to take orth to the next level and cement our presence in the regional construction landscape more broadly.”
Redmond joined North in 2011 as Office Manager, transitioning to Corporate Services Manager and Company Secretary in 2016, then becoming a shareholder in 2018 to now take on her current role as Director.
“I am truly excited about the opportunity to be a part of the North Executive Leadership team as we navigate the next phase of our growth,” she said.
“With a continued focus on our culture, our values, and our wonderful people, I look forward to building our capabilities to meet our future business needs.”
Chase was recruited into the business in 2019 bringing with him more than 25 years’ experience in the construction industry, initially as Design & Construct Manger, then as Pre-construction Manager before becoming a shareholder last year.
“Nicole and I bring greater diversity of thought, experience and skills to the directorship of the business,” he said.
“This will be critical as we build on the solid foundations North has already developed over the past three decades.”
North’s specialist projects team delivers projects under $3.5M, with its major works department delivering projects up to $50M.
“I’m proud of where North has come from and where we’re headed,” Cook said.
“We’ve got a strong team of extremely capable and committed people, positive corporate culture, solid reputation and strong systems that will all see the business grow well into the future.”
North Construction & Building was founded in 1987 and continues to be 100 per cent employee owned.
With offices in Tuggerah, Newcastle, Dubbo, Orange, Mudgee, Tamworth and most recently Brisbane, North works across a diverse range of projects within the commercial, education, aged care, health, industrial, infrastructure, retail, and hospitality sectors.
