Kym

Factory Manager

Batesy is first to the coffee machine in the morning and we all know to let him go for it. He looks after a team of four to ensure each and every Kookaburra home, all across South Australia, is fitted with its amazing cabinetry and joinery.

When he gets the chance to put down the tools, Batesy is always up to head off camping. Unless there is a good game on TV and all camping plans are lost. Coffee, sport, camping. Got it!

Favourite design tip: choose what you like (colours, style etc) as it is your kitchen, not anyone else’s and you have to live with it

If I wasn’t being Kookaburra Homes Factory Manager, I would be: running my own cabinetry business

Fun fact: during a twelve-month travelling stint in the 90s, I worked at Lords Cricket Ground in London. This was during the series that landed Shane Warne with the ‘Ball of the Century’
