Cooloola Coast craves cabinets!
Cooloola Coast Cabinets’ Paul Smith and Tim Sheard install a laundry
Tim and Kerry-Lee Sheard have been operating Cooloola Coast Cabinets for ten years, and report business has never been better.
Says Tim, “We have had record levels of business, this year is the highest turnover in the last ten years by 40%.”
Perhaps it can be attributed to Tim’s experience and quality craftsmanship. Originally from the UK, Tim has lived in Australia for 26 years, “I have always been a cabinet maker – since I was 16.”
He thanks customers for recommending them to people. “Supporting the locals helps our community thrive, being able to provide jobs for others is a position I feel privileged to have.”
He feels developing strong working relationships is also important, and has noticed local tradesmen are all very busy; he himself has doubled his staff from last year.
“I’ve got six people now. I took on another guy two weeks ago and at the same time promoted another.”
The team do everything, from kitchens and wardrobes, to laundries and renovations. “You need to book ahead, because people just seem to be spending money and calling me!”
When asked if he thinks renovation shows like The Block have inspired his customers, Tim replies, “It gives people ideas, but reality is a bit different!”
Kerry-Lee is in the final months of gaining her Bachelor of Education, and also manages the office. “I’d be lost without her,” Tim says.
