Holloway says, that role matters just as much as any other—because the system only functions when every part is respected and resourced. That people-first approach has also shaped a strategic pivot over the past few years. Early growth relied heavily on talent brought from overseas through the wider group’s international footprint. But the business learned—through experience—that sustainable delivery in Australia required deeper local roots. Over the last two to three years, the company has intentionally built a leadership team across its three divisions made up of professionals with a long-term commitment to Australia, creating stability and a foundation for expansion. SAFETY ACCREDITATION AS A NONNEGOTIABLE In rail and critical infrastructure environments, safety is not a slogan. It is the foundation that determines whether a business can even pre-qualify for work, let alone deliver it. Holloway points to an ISO-certified integrated management system across safety, quality, and environmental controls, describing it as a working system embedded in daily operations—not a “binder on a shelf.” Jonathan Bayford, Purchasing & Procurement Officer Simon English, Civil Superintendent 60 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 08, ISSUE 02
