Mr Tyson began as CEO when Timberlink was first formed in February 2013, and through his leadership over the past 10 years, has led the business through challenging times, ensuring positive returns; from the early days of operational stability to what is now a well-honed and strategically focused organisation delivering significant beneficial outcomes.
There have been many achievements and transformative projects that Mr Tyson has led during his time as CEO, including the evolution of NeXTimber, Timberlink’s mass timber manufacturing business at Tarpeena in South Australia, and Timberlink’s wood-composite manufacturing products.
The NeXTimber facility has pressed its first Cross Laminated Timber panel and its first GLT beam.
These two projects were borne through Mr Tyson’s unwavering drive and focus on innovation which allowed Timberlink to grow from a timber processing focussed business into a much broader manufacturing and construction solutions focussed business.
In a statement Timberlink said Mr Tyson had led with integrity, and this had been underpinned by the values that were developed many years ago to ensure that everyone at Timberlink conducted themselves in a way that made Timberlink a great place to work.
