Joe joined the business in 1994 as a trainee steel fixer and has progressed through a wide range of operational and leadership roles over the years, now serving as General Manager – Concrete (West). His career reflects not only his own hard work and commitment, but also the opportunities that exist within the business for people who want to develop and grow.
