My experience started in 1980, shortly after completing my roofing apprenticeship, I discovered Thatch Roofing after contracting with my team on a few big resorts around parts of Cairns, such as Port Douglas, Airlie Beach and Mission Beach. A short time after, in 1998, I travelled overseas to Bali, to learn how to manufacture traditional Indonesian Thatch (also known as Alang Alang). This then lead me to importing and setting up a company Thatching Australia. We became the biggest importers of thatching into Australia. The importation of thatch roofing led us to some of the largest and elite thatching projects including many well known resorts and islands.

Moving back to the Sunshine Coast in 2004 with my family, we established a retail business Indo Products in Sippy Downs, Queensland, specialising in the installation of Bali Huts, Thatch Roofing, Terracotta Shingles, Timber Shingles, Slate and Fibreglass Shingles, also carrying a large range of outdoor water features, bamboo fencing, stone flooring, and garden accessories, mainly from Indonesia.

We later sold Indo Products and with the wealth of experience and knowledge I gained from these businesseses led me to start the revolutionary thatching system QUICKTHATCH™ and Thatch Solutions specialising in creating the South East Asian influence in the outdoor areas of Australia homes.
