Originally from Pemberton, Customer Service Officer JACQUI CAMP has been a Geraldton resident for 13 years, following her husband to the town.
She has spent 25 years in childcare and three years with IGA before taking up the Abrolhos Steel role in February 2022.
“It’s always interesting, learning something new and dealing with different people of all backgrounds.”
Jacqui likes nothing better than spending her free time in the wilderness, fishing, camping and prospecting for gold, mainly in the Cue area.
“It doesn’t bother me (if she finds gold or not), as long as I can sit by a campfire and have a can in my hand. It’s more about the enjoyment of being outdoors. Just spending time out, is what it is all about.”
Her background is in farming and her relatives are still in the Pemberton area, growing cattle, spuds, onions and pumpkins. It’s good to go and see them from time to time.”
TAMARA WALTON is Abrolhos Steel’s Accounts Receivable Officer.
Born in the west, she spent some time in Queensland and returned to WA to Carnamah before settling down in Geraldton.
Tamara has been on the Abrolhos team since July 2023 and has worked in a variety of industries, saying: “I have found my niche here. I enjoy the work and the atmosphere.”
JACK STARTIN is the new Construction Project Manager at Abrolhos Steel, starting in early September.
Jack (25) hails from Broadstairs in Kent, England and is the nephew of business owner Philip Martin.
Jack completed a degree in business management from the University of Lincoln and spent time working for a business consultancy as an Engagement Manager.
“The role with Abrolhos is about listening to clients and what they want and how we can position ourselves to meet their expectations as well as being able to adapt to the environment.”
Abrolhos Steel has recently completed some large projects and is actively engaged with projects as far afield as Laverton.
Jack says he likes the lifestyle in Geraldton, having visited last Christmas and “two or three times” as a youngster with his parents.
“It seems like in Geraldton there are a lot of sports club. I’ve played rugby, tennis, squash, golf and I like to try my hand at anything sporting.
“Working in the Midwest also gives me a chance to see what Western Australia has to offer and the rest of Australia when possible.”
Swimming is in the family with his mum and dad keen ocean swimmers. “Last year I liked going to the Aquarena and swimming in the 50m pool.
“I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and seeing how I can assist our clients with their needs”.
JACKSON EDWARDS is the latest addition to the Abrolhos Steel team.
Hailing from Perth where he was born and bred, the self-confessed backyard mechanic has taken up a role as Storeman/Delivery Driver.
Jackson spent the last two and a half years working as a C & C machine operator with metal factories, including Metroll, which supplies products to Abrolhos Steel.
He attended Cecil Andrews Secondary School in Armadale and played softball as his major sport in Perth.
Jackson likes to tinker with vehicles, doing up Commodores and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
In fact, his current fascination is with 4WD outings and is currently modifying a 4WD as a touring rig.
He has explored the South-West, which he loved, and places like Mundaring, Waroona and Katanning on 4WD adventures, taking in his enjoyment of local pubs and camping.
“Camping is wonderful at the right time of the year; great during the day and a fire at night. Best thing ever,” he said.
Since arriving in Geraldton mid-year, Jackson said: “I haven’t gone too far outside Geraldton, mostly to beaches. I want to see different parts of WA and Geraldton was the next best opportunity.”
