Allan Wood

Commercial Manager – Hansen Yunken

Allan is the Commercial Manager for the Tasmanian Branch of Hansen Yuncken. His role provides oversight of contractual, financial and administrative matters on our projects and for the Tasmanian Branch. Over his 30+ years in the industry, his roles have enabled him to play a part in a diverse range of commercial and industrial projects including MONA and Parliament Square.

As the dad of two daughters (one is showing interest in the industry), Allan wants to present an industry that is attractive to, and is open to all. He firmly believes that the industry needs, and will flourish, with diversity of thought, skills and influence at all levels. He believes we are failing the industry without women being active participants in all areas and levels.

Cath McDowell

Business Manager – Howrah Plumbing

Last year, Cath McDowell celebrated her 25th work anniversary with Hobart-based Howrah Plumbing. This year, the Managing Director became the business owner as she purchased Howrah Plumbing from its former retiring owner. What she’s equally as proud of is Howrah’s commitment to supporting more women to join the construction industry, and equipping the next generation of female plumbers with the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Cath says “I wanted to show that there is life after high school… I left school at Year 10 and now I’ve finished university and own a business. I hope my story gives others the belief that they can do it too.”
