Managing Director @ MasterKraft P/L

About

With over 29 years’ experience in the field, I’ve led commercial ventures, headed up sales strategies and teams, and overseen robust supply chains. Transformation is embedded in my approach, ever since my early days as a Sales Representative then Business Development Manager at a growing boxing and fitness equipment manufacturer. The insights I gained served as the ideal platform for founding several private ventures, culminating with my latest success story, MasterKraft. MasterKraft offers its own premium branded range of functional training, fitness, cardio, strength, flooring, weights and storage solutions, as well as custom branded products, delivered globally at the most cost-effective pricing. MasterKraft was established to offer a more flexible business model with pricing structures tailored to the needs of our clients and the level of service required. Prior to establishing MasterKraft and since 2017 our sister company, Gym Imports Direct, successfully delivered functional training and gym equipment to the corporate and commercial fitness markets globally. Gym Imports Direct (“GID”) was the main equipment supplier to Body Fit Training (“BFT”) globally from 2019-2022 supplying clubs throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and on a smaller scale the USA with equipment engineered to BFT’s specific needs. GID were responsible for the supply and logistics of 550+ individual products to six new BFT studios per month on average. In addition, GID serviced the needs of all existing BFT studios. Currently MasterKraft is the exclusive and global supply partner to several fitness franchises including Air Locker Training and REVL Training. ..Of course, fitness isn’t just about equipment—it’s about people. As a frontline fitness professional and business executive, I speak the same language as my clients. I care about their success, and build lasting relationships through continuous improvement and excellent service.
