MANAGEMENT PROFILES

 
Chief Executive
Ian Caulfield
Ian comes to Composite Retail Group with a wealth of senior management experience in the retail sector.

As finance manager and 2IC for a group which exceeded $100 million in revenue, Ian ensures that operations are efficient and insists on a company wide focus of informed decision making in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.

More recently, in the last two years Ian has been the General Manager of a charitable trust. He transformed the company from a monthly gifting focus, to an organisation that ensures the best sustainable outcomes for the community. This was only achieved by listening to and understanding the community to identify their real needs and then aligning the company’s strategy and focus to meet those needs.
