Steve Simmonds | Sales

After 43 years in the flooring industry, looking back it has been immensely rewarding, covering all facets of Domestic and Commercial Flooring, it has always been exhilarating to see a project or home come together, and have clients where the finished product meets or exceeds their expectations. It is always a joy to have a prospective client come in and say that they have been referred by a past client.

My spare time revolves around family, a little fishing, not enough golf, gardening, and church activities.

Russell Webb | Sales

I have been in the flooring industry for 30 years now and after all this time there are still 2 things I love doing:

With my engineering background I love the challenge of minimising joins on a complicated carpet or sheet vinyl layout
Finding the perfect product and colour for a client’s needs still gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

In my spare time I do a bit of woodwork, but I also love to just unwind in front of the telly or with a good book.

Andrew Watson | Store Manager

I have been in the industry for 34 years.

I enjoy weekend time,fishing and anything to do with boats.

I have always had great job satisfaction within the industry and love transforming peoples ideas to reality.

Ian Perrett | Sales Manager

For over 20 years I have been providing clients with flooring solutions.

It has been exciting as there have been new innovations and an endless array of products over this time. What gives me the greatest satisfaction is being able to match a particular flooring to a client’s needs and seeing the end result in their home.

Outside of work, I love getting my hands dirty in the garden – just need more time and energy.

Family values are important and as any grandparent would agree, spending time with your family and seeing you grandchildren develop and put a smile on your face is so important.

Mia Yena | Accounts Manager

What I enjoy about working in the Flooring Industry is that it is a mix of design and construction. You interact with all different people and not one job is the same. It’s exciting seeing a floor plan come to life with the choices of carpets and hard flooring!

I’ve been a part of the industry since 2004.

What I like to do in my spare time, other than spending time with my husband and our two sons, is cooking and baking. I’m known to bring in savouries and sweets into the Kelwin Kitchen!

Todd Mairs | Sales

I enjoy the challenge of helping a client come up with a suitable option for their requirements and budget. I’ve been involved in Flooring Sales & Consultancy for about 15 years.

In my spare time away from work I enjoy playing guitar, getting around the golf course with my brothers, and enjoying the Sunshine Coast family lifestyle.

Regan Saltau | Warehouse Manager

I have worked in the flooring industry for Kelwin Coastal Carpet for 2 and half years.

Coming from a trade background, I have found a common connection to the Installers and enjoying co-ordinating, supplying and dealing with the challenges of the installations to provide our customers with the best service and flooring on the Sunshine Coast.

Jarod Sagar

Hi I'm Jarod. I have lived here on the coast my whole life. I enjoy the simple things in life, having a laugh with friends, spending time with my wife, and the satisfaction of a good day's work.

I'm relatively new to the industry but love learning new things and look forward to meeting you.
