A recommendation from Cairns Marine
I had the pleasure of working closely with Matthew White during his time as General Manager of Cairns Marine.
Cairns Marine is a fairly complex business, with vessel operations, international logistics, livestock husbandry, regulatory requirements and a diverse team of people to manage. It takes someone with a good understanding of both the commercial and operational sides of a business to keep everything moving in the right direction.
Matt brings a practical, common-sense approach to management. He has sound commercial judgement, understands the importance of building good relationships and is particularly good at working through problems and finding sensible solutions.
One of Matt's strengths is his ability to look beyond the immediate problem and understand the broader implications for the business. He is reliable, straightforward and someone whose judgement I have valued.
There is a big difference between understanding business management in theory and having actually dealt with the challenges of running a complex operation. Matt has that real-world experience.
I would have no hesitation recommending Matt to anyone looking for practical business guidance, sound advice or an experienced perspective on managing people and improving business performance.
