Michael

Construction Assistant

Stapes started his career with work experience as a carpenter. The building industry interested him, however, he took a storeman role at Bi-Lo (part of the Coles chain if you are a Gen Z or younger) and stuck with retail. Fast forward to mid-2024 and he is living his childhood dream in the building industry as our Construction Assistant.

When Stapes isn’t working, we can either find him fishing or at the club – that would be the footy or cricket club. As a life member at both the Tailem Bend Football Club and the Wanderers Cricket Club, he is a busy guy all year round.
