152 - How To Make Manufacturing Profitable In Australia, With Scott Trenoweth

In this episode I speak to someone who has accomplished a very rare thing these days: a hugely successful manufacturing operation in our own country. Where most would outsource to Asia, Scott Trenoweth and his family have proven what can be possible if you invest in local talent. The Associate Director of Thunderbox Industries recounts his journey to the top of the family business, which has grown from 4 employees in 2002 to over 100 today. It was genuinely inspiring to hear from someone who places such value in homegrown talent and innovation. Listen up to hear how Thunderbox did it. In this episode you will learn: -The strength of Aussie manufacturing -How Scott started his career straight out of high school -Automation in manufacturing -What motivated Scott to return to the family business after he’d left previously -What an Associate Director does on a day-to-day basis -How Scott stays competitive as a manufacturer in Australia -Why Scott gets by without a Linkedin profile, coach or any external business advice -How to break into high-end manufacturing -How enthusiasm and energy can bring success without the need for academic qualification -How to upscale your product range at the drop of a hat Extra Resources: Scott’s toolbox range: https://www.rhinoboxes.com.au/ For a free copy of Richard Triggs’ best-selling book, Uncover the Hidden Job Market, go to: http://www.uncoverthehiddenjobmarket.com Richard Triggs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardtriggs/
