About Me

Building a Business Brick by Brick

Hello, my name is Mick and I own a medium-sized business in New South Wales, Australia. I started the business 10 years ago in my garage. I make bespoke metal tools and knives which can be used for a range of activities. As the company grew in size, I moved to a local industrial unit and hired a couple of staff to work alongside me. The continued success meant that I eventually had to construct business premises of my own. I didn't have a clue where to start. My friend suggested some great contractors who helped me to draw up the plans and to survey the site. The work was carried out really quickly and I am really happy that my company has a new home. This blog is designed to help others with their building projects.
