The MBT Team represents years of knowledge, dedication and experience working in the building and construction industry.
David Clerk

In her spare time, Marianne loves to travel and finds her caravan is an excellent way to see the sights.

Jessie is never in the office!
Jessie’s role is to be out and about meeting the membership and ensuring we are supporting them where needed and sourcing new ways to support by working closely with industry suppliers and organisations.
Deb Angilley
HR / IR Manager
Deb is a small business expert providing advice in the Industrial Relations and Human Resource sectors to our members. What she doesn’t know, she makes it her job to find out.
She is also a very friendly face in our North West office.
Jenny McLachlan
Membership Experience Officer
Jenny is the greatest all-rounder. She works on events, membership documents, sponsorship and association admin.
Jenny is the most excellent cook and if you are lucky enough to be in the Devonport office during a holiday event like Christmas, you may even be treated to some of her delicious treats!

Erin is the fun party person.
Her excellent organisational skills means we hold the best regional meetings, member forums, ministerial lunches and of course the Awards for Excellence program and party.
