Bruce is a respected and successful sales, business development and
marketing professional with more than thirty years of experience across
a multitude of industries from financial services and FMCG through to
manufacturing, industrial, education and Government services. As
a Senior Executive Advisor responsible for Workforce Development, Bruce
works with clients on developing HR, skills and talent management
solutions both internally and externally. This crosses both Sustain
Recruitment and Education services and allows Bruce to provide clients
with a total end to end solution. More specifically Bruce is able to
bring a cross section of skills where he understands the differing needs
between smaller organisations and much larger counterparts. Indeed,
Bruce has owned and operated his own businesses and carries within him
an entrepreneurial streak that provides a depth of insight to clients
that many other advisors and sales professionals are unable to
demonstrate.
Bruce also has a significant body of experience when it comes to
developing sustainable business solutions that enable organisations to
reduce bottom line costs while streamlining business processes both
directly and indirectly through the supply chain. This is best
demonstrated thanks to his work in building central supply clusters for
more than 100 Caltex Service Outlets across Australia. On the employment
and education side he has placed more than 300 people into direct jobs,
mentored and coached more than 1,000 over the last few years – his focus
being on the provision of sustainable long term employment outcomes that
meet the needs of workers and employers alike.
Bruce and the community: Bruce is an active member of the community
where he has been involved in some creative and innovative programs such
as Youth Connect on the Central Coast of New South Wales where he is a
member of the Partnership Advisory Committee. In a professional capacity
he has designed and delivered training courses to youth at risk and the
long term unemployed and is a very active member of the National
Broadband Networks Regional Committee Support Group.
