 Q & A Interview by Sam Mellick.
Technical & Sales Support Team-Manager at Radius Cranes Australia:
Richard Anderson.
Q. Richard, you could say you are a Brand Name in the Building Industry!
As a young bloke, I started in this industry in Sydney in 1965 as a Rigger. The construction industry was not as regulated in those days and enormous trust and dependability was in the hands of co-workers. We took calculated risks on Cranes and Machines we were put with; … and the people we worked with; .....but we knew and trusted the competence of the people involved. Riding (standing on) the hook of the tower crane was an everyday occurrence between main streets and jobsites in Sydney and we were licensed / ticketed to do so. Now that is going back a few years! ( LOL! )
We learned how to deal with blokes and manage teams during those formative years and today come with more than 40 years experience with Cranes and Rigging Contracting.
