My career in the food industry began at Woolworths at the age of 15 . From retail I moved into a territory sales role with Cottee’s Foods which is where my relationship with the South Australian customer base began. After 7 years with Cottee’s I moved on to a role with Mars Confectionery, where I spent 11 years moving through several sales and management roles, including Territory Manager, Account Manager, Regional Sales Manager SA/WA and Field Sales Manager.
The opportunity to set up The Distributors Adelaide in 2006 was a chance for me to apply an accumulation of 18 years industry experience with a genuine passion to offer the Adelaide route trade a relevant and exciting product range, speed to market on new products and superior customer service.

I started working in the food industry at a young age, working at my local deli in my School Holidays at the age of 12. From school I joined a bank, then progressed to my own deli for 6 years, and then joined an International Foods Company as a sales representative. I worked as State Sales Manager for Don Smallgoods, and then moved to Sydney to work as National Sales Manager for Addis Australia. I moved back to Adelaide to raise my family, and had a short stint with a Pharmaceutical Company, prior to setting up my own Water Distribution and Logistics business, which I ran for 10 years. I joined TDA in April of 2009 as General Manager, and have enjoyed every minute of it.

For the past 7 years I have been involved in the wholesale business. I have been lucky enough to be working within two very successful local wholesale teams.
My first two years in the wholesale industry I was employed as a Territory Manager and last 5 years I have been based as an Account manager/Sales Manager employed by 2 of SA’S largest and fastest growing wholesale businesses in Australia “THE DISTRIBUTORS”.
Having a vast knowledge about small businesses has been a huge help in recognizing how our customers operate across the state as our clientele are more often than not owned and operated by local Proprietors.
For the last 7 years I have had dealings with most if not all of our customers on our books from IGA’S,FOODWORKS,DELI’S,SNACKBARS,UNIVERSITIES,P&C SITES,FRANCHISES,CONVIENINCE STORES MAJOR GROUPS AND NATIONAL ACCOUNTS and it has led me to meet most of our clientele.
The distributors is a great place to work and it will be my home for many more years to come.
