Central Systems announces change in Shareholder Group

 

Central Systems is very pleased to announce a change in its shareholder group and new appointments to its Board of Directors. After many years of working hard with business partner Ivan Ruefli (Director, Services) to startup and grow the Central Systems business, John Mai sold his shareholding to a new shareholder group in December 2009.

The new shareholder group brings a great depth of experience in civil concrete construction and will now work closely with current Director, Ivan Ruefli to grow the existing business and expand into concrete construction, offering a "whole of life" service model for concrete structures including remediation and maintenance.

Central Systems is pleased to introduce its Board of Directors as follows:

  • Richard Eden, Managing Director
    For over twenty two years, Richard has worked in the maintenance and construction industries across Australia and has held senior management and directorship roles in several major contracting companies in recent years. With a strong focus on solid contract and business management and a commitment to excellence in client service, he brings a broad range of experience to the boardroom from the mining, oil & gas, government, utilities and defence sectors including construction, maintenance and facilities management contracting.
  • Ivan Ruefli, Director: Services
    Ivan has more than twenty years of experience in the civil, marine, residential and commercial construction industries. This experience is founded on formal training in Civil Earthworks in the US Military, a Bachelors Degree in Science and a Masters Degree in Project Management. He has successfully managed major projects in Australia and overseas and has technical expertise in the specification and application of rehabilitation solutions for many types of structures.
  • Gary Reid, Director: Construction
    Gary is responsible for construction projects. He has over 20 years experience in civil and concrete projects for the infrastructure, commercial building, mining and oil & gas sectors in Queensland, North Territory and Western Australia. Having worked his way up from the tools he is intimately experienced in every aspect of civil and concrete construction which underpins more than 10 years of experience as a Site/Project Manager on packages up to AUD$150M. Regarded by his peers as one of the most driven and successful civil/concrete project managers in WA, he is a welcome addition to Central Systems to oversee the projects of our Construction division.

Now with significant investment in key personnel, plant & equipment and business systems; along with over 100 years of combined management experience in construction and maintenance across the mining & resources, oil & gas, infrastructure, manufacturing, industrial and commercial sectors, Central Systems is ready to lead the way as the civil and remedial construction contractor of choice in Western Australia.
