Industry Experience

​

Gavin has extensive experience across construction, medical, legal, professional services and emerging industries, including content creators and digital businesses.

His expertise in the building and construction industry comes from lifelong exposure. Raised in a family of builders, Gavin spent his early years on construction sites and later helped manage the family’s building businesses. This hands-on experience gives him a practical understanding of the industry that allows him to provide highly relevant and tailored advice to builders, contractors and property developers.

Beyond construction, Gavin works extensively with medical professionals ranging from general practitioners and surgeons to allied health providers. He advises on business structuring, tax optimisation, practice growth and succession planning, with a strong understanding of the financial and operational demands of running a successful practice.
