“In his new role Mike will bring commercial and operational expertise to ensure Wood Products Australia continues to operate consistently, delivering high quality products.”
Mr Bloomfield said the Wood Products operations, transport and sales teams had dealt with many market pressures, through it all reliably delivering high quality products to customers.
“It’s an honour to be given the opportunity to lead the Wood Products Australia team and I look forward to working with them,” he said.
