Our Team

I’ve always wanted to have my own business and after working in the agricultural sector for many years I thought it’s now or never. So I started Specialist Sales in 2002 part-time and then decided to bite the bullet in 2004 and dive straight into it. At the time it was a massive risk, but I wasn’t going to die wondering! Raised on a mixed farming property in Central NSW, I always saw myself working in the ag sector. After completing a Business degree majoring in agricultural commerce at the University of Sydney (Orange), I’ve worked in many agricultural enterprises prior to starting Specialist Sales including animal health, seed, turf and broadacre crop protection. This has allowed me to gain experience and knowledge about the products we sell. In early 2000 I realised there was a huge opportunity to create an online presence for rural producers, allowing them to access a vast range of products. This was something no one had successfully done before in agriculture and I was keen to give it a go. We thrive on the challenge this has created. Specialist Sales has now grown into a fully operational e-commerce site and customer service centre. People can now shop 24/7 with the convenience of conducting business online or over the phone. When I’m not thinking about Specialist Sales, I like to unwind by watching footy, cricket, horse racing, gardening and spending time with the family.

Even though Cameron and I started Specialist Sales more than 20 years ago, I only joined the team full time in 2016. The business was rapidly growing and the need for someone to take on marketing, HR and workplace health and safety became apparent. I have worked in the agricultural industry for more than 20 years and I was raised on a broadacre property in northern NSW. I studied Agricultural Economics at UNE Armidale and have worked in agriculture, education and the disability sectors in marketing, communications and business strategy. Cameron and I have always wanted to own our own business and we have worked hard to see it grow over a decade and a half. Our greatest strength is our staff, we have a terrific team who support us in achieving our vision. They are customer service focused and enjoy their interactions with our loyal customers. They have shown the capacity to grow and change with us and that has supported our business over time.
