Tom King

Assistant Manager, Bathurst

Tom is an Assistant Manager with Edcon’s Bathurst branch, so he’s one smooth operator. The job involves helping to keep everything on track, looking after customers, ensuring paperwork is up to date – and stepping in when the manager’s away.

A metal life

“I’ve been around metal most of my life,” says Tom. “My dad’s a fitter, welder and engineer and we used to go to the metal shops together.”

Those regular visits led to an office role in another steel supplier.

“I wanted to be an accountant, believe it or not, but I realised I was looking for something more hands-on. I’ve since done warehouse and logistics training and now at Edcon I get the variety that I really enjoy.”

Enjoying a challenge and a laugh

“It’s a good atmosphere here at Edcon, and I like that it’s a family-run business. The staff all get along and it’s easy to enjoy work when you have that sort of atmosphere. We have a laugh with the customers too, and you get to know the regulars pretty well.”
