Tim has been involved in the commercial furniture industry for over 25 years in Australia and New Zealand. He started out in 1997 with NZ Business Supplies Group (NZBSG), working with brands like Whitcoulls, Blue Star, Hollands, OTC and General Packaging. He then joined Warehouse Stationery establishing their B2B offering. In 2006, Tim brought his in-depth experience to Buro, stepping into the General Manager role. His background with NZBSG and Warehouse Stationery gave him great insight into what customers need.
Before his career in furniture, Tim spent a decade as an officer in the NZ Army, honing his leadership and management skills. Over the past 20 years, he has travelled extensively, exploring global design trends in commercial seating and building in-depth knowledge of the Asian seating manufacturing industry, all to bring high-quality ergonomic seating to Australia and New Zealand. A key part of Tim’s role is ensuring that Buro never loses sight of having fun and celebrating success.
Outside of work, Tim enjoys recharging with fly fishing—his mental reset—and working out at the gym. True to his favourite quote, “Live today as if it were your last.”
