Kyle Houlden

I have been paying tax for 41 years with a Trades certificate in Boilermaking. I started working for Humes in 1994 as a Boilermaker and continued as the Maintenance Supervisor at Humes Eagle Farm 2000, before progressing to Production Supervisor 2002 and then transitioning to Production Manager Humes Structural 2004. Then came a 2014 move into Humes Ipswich Drycast Pipe Production and in 2017, to Wetcast Ipswich. I’m continuing to enjoy the fast pace of Production Management and continuing to pay tax. 😊 

 The SSU were recommended to me by a colleague in a staff position and I could see the benefit of being involved as a member in a strong team. The SSU offers members confidential support from an experienced, compassionate, and knowledgeable Executive team if required and I enjoy the sense of strength and support by being an active member of the Association. 

The Executive Team are successful peers in our industries who really care and enjoy helping others succeed in their working life. I nominated for the Council as I felt that I could learn, listen and then contribute to the success of all SSU members. This has been my first year on the Executive Council, and I have listened and learnt and know that my contribution has been worthwhile.
