Tim’s passion lies in this: “If you look after the people, the business will flourish; look after the people and their families will flourish and the community benefits.”
Tim has experience across the hospitality and retail and education sectors in a variety of roles – at the coal face and within management and leadership teams.

Not one to ask you to do something he isn’t, Tim is constantly upskilling and looking for opportunities to continue his own professional development. He knows that bringing real value to his clients means he must be constantly learning himself.
This led to Tim becoming involved with Blanchard programmes, initially through an interest in leadership theory, then using Blanchard concepts in development programmes. Now he is looking forward to working with Blanchard NZ to continue equipping smart businesses with smarter people.
