Peter Hyne is a fifth generation Hyne family member who joined Hyne Timber in January 1980 on completion of Senior Schooling. Whilst Peter is an active Board Member and shareholder, Peter also continues to work within the business in the role of General Manager – Customers. Peter has the accountability for all Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Teams.

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. The cadetship or Trainee Manager course had curriculum content as well as hands-on practical application in the various business unit operations across the Company. On completion of his Cadetship, Peter was appointed as a Sales Clerk in the main office located at Maryborough.

In the period 1988 to 1995, Peter successively managed the Gold Coast Wholesale Branch then the South Brisbane Wholesale Branch, after which he commenced working with the Araucaria Sales Office at Virginia following the acquisition of ACI Timber Products by Hyne Timber. In late 1996, Peter was appointed as Assistant to the General Manager – Sales.

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.

Across 2018-19 with Hyne Timber implementing Integrated Business Planning (IBP) a restructure of the supply chain function within Hyne Timber sees Peter passing the accountability for distribution to the Supply Team. Peter remains firmly focused on the customer end of the business.

He completed a three year QTITC Timber Industry Cadetship in 1984 and has since gathered a wealth of timber industry experience, working in a variety of roles, navigating restructures, acquisitions and ultimately, company simplification during 2010 - 2012.
