Whilst Peter is an active Board Member and shareholder, Peter also continues to work within the business in the role of General Manager – Customers.

During his employment with Hyne Timber, Peter’s career has transitioned through initially being appointed as a Treatment Plant Operator, then progressing to complete a Timber Industry Cadetship during 1981-84.

On retirement of the General Manager – Sales, and following a decision to sell-off the retail arm of the business, Peter was promoted to the role of General Manager – Wholesale and charged with responsibility to develop the wholesale activities.

With company restructuring and simplification during 2010-2012, Peter continued with the responsibility for Sales & Distribution as well as taking on the accountability for Marketing Operations. His grass-roots operational experience, product and market knowledge continue to be valuable both in fulfilling his role within the business and in executing his role on the Board.
