Tony has had a long history dealing in trades and trade sales. Starting his working life as an apprentice plumber many years ago in Sydney, his working life has involved sales and management in many industries in both Australia and Papua New Guinea.
He has been involved in plumbing supplies, general hardware, whitegoods, electrical wholesale and liquor sales.
Settling in Cairns many years ago he entered the HVAC, Insulation, Plastering and Ceiling fixing industry with A&B Mintec Pty Ltd which by a random turn of events was in the same premises and industry as Oz Air & Insulation first occupied.
When not working he enjoys time with his family and cycling, being involved in many charity cycling events throughout the year and penning a local cycling newsletter.
‘No matter where my career has taken me the constant that I have enjoyed is working with tradies and a little bit of retail and I wouldn’t have it any other way’ he says.
Antonia could be known as the ‘secret staff member’, as she is rarely seen during trading hours as she also has her own demanding day job. However, every Friday as well as afterhours she puts in an incredible amount of work making sure everything balances, and the bills are paid as well as having a big part in all other business decisions.
Antonia is a true Cairns local having graduated from St Monica’s College and has a double degree in HR and International Business Management as well as accreditation in Neuro-Optometric Vision Therapy.
When not working at Oz Air & Insulation or her day job she enjoys time with family, travelling, making and decorating special occasion cakes as well resin jewellery making and other arts and crafts.
Like the old saying goes, ‘If you want something done, give it to a busy person’.
Although Nathan was born in Sydney, he can still call himself a local having done both his primary and secondary schooling in Cairns.
Since commencing his work life Nathan has always been employed in some part of the building industry.
He has worked in the Air Conditioning and Insulation industry for many years, initially with A&B Mintec, then with Bradflo and now with Oz Air & Insulation.
He originally started out in the warehouse as a storeman, moving to sales and customer service and eventually becoming my right-hand man and jack of all trades.
When not working he has a strong interest and vast knowledge in most sports and all sorts of music.
As a Cairns regional local of over 45 years, Van is quite a well-known face around town already.
She has been employed with Quinny Supplies/Oz Air and Insulation for the past 10 years and many of our customers will have experienced Van’s outgoing and positive personality either on the phone or in person on their visits to our warehouse.
Not just a dedicated team member while at work, Van has been involved in numerous external voluntary social roles within the community.
One of the two Tonys at Oz Air & Insulation, Tony G joined our Team back in November 2021 as a salesman.
Being locally born and bred, Tony has over 30 years of sales experience and customer service in the Cairns trade industry under his belt.
On the weekends he loves to watch his favourite football team, Liverpool FC, and is also a keen fisherman, when he gets a chance.
Tony loves to escape to his hideaway in the Tablelands and just chill.
Recently we’ve decided on “Griffo” to try and avoid the two Tony confusion, feel free to use it.
Luke is another one of our secret ‘behind the scenes’ helpers who have helped so much with the success of our business.
Whilst having his own sales and management career he has managed to work for Oz Air & Insulation in his spare time for little more than food and board.
Luke is our computer guru doing things such as keeping the network up and running, installing software, putting together email newsletters and much much more.
Always doing it with a smile on his face whilst usually shaking his head and saying’ what have you done to your computer now Dad’? His favourite saying is ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’
Rosey is our latest staff member and a pleasure to have onboard.
Rosey’s main love would be dancing
She is a Cairns local, graduating from Cairns State High School, where she was proud to be selected in the Centre of Excellence in Dance class.
She loves traveling and snowboarding and has enjoyed both in Canada, New Zealand, and Wales.
She has a passion for wine and has a developed a skill for matching it with food.
Rosey has an array of work skills, from a checkout chick, through to administration services and child minding.
She is always willing give anything a go and says ‘one thing that drew her to Oz Air and Insulation is how personal the customer service is and the owners being so family orientated, treating their staff well and not just like another number in an organisation.’ Thanks Rosey.
Don Weight – Gone But not Gone.
After being such a crucial part of the Oz Air & Insulation team for many years, Don finally retired back in August 2021.
However, we were not going to let him get away that easy.
So far, he has returned and helped us out many times as a super casual and I’m sure he’ll still be making appearances for a while to come.
When not in Cairns he can be found in the town of Millaa Millaa where he has obtained celebrity status for his starring role in the “Come to Quinny’s” TV add.
I could go on for ever naming names but I’m sure you all know who you are.
