A few weeks ago our mate Hoppo from the Mates on Crates podcast came up to Burleigh Waters with his microphones.
We met Hoppo back in 2023 on the other side of the country. We were both doing a lap of Australia with our kids, we had the same caravan, and Steve talked him across Yardy Creek near Exmouth. We’ve kept in touch ever since.
So we sat down for a chat about how we got here, what we’ve learned along the way, and how we try to make it work running a business as husband and wife.
What we chatted about:
- Why we packed up the kids and did the lap of Australia
- What Steve brought across from 20 years in commercial building, and what we left behind
- How we look after our team (most of it doesn’t cost a thing)
- Moving out of the garage and into our own warehouse in Burleigh
- Working together after 20 years together
- Where we’d love Dellwood to be in 10 years
- And the question we get asked all the time: where does the name Dellwood come from?
We don’t want to be the biggest builder on the Gold Coast. We want to do great renovations for great people. We’re also growing our design team, so we can look after you from the first sketch right through to handing over the keys.
Grab a cuppa and have a listen. Thanks so much for having us, Hoppo!
