Barry, commonly known to most people as ‘Wadsy’, with the dream that he would be able to combine his passion for travelling with his years of experience and qualifications gained across varied industries (including construction, sugar cane, earthmoving, real estate and rural just to name a few) into a successful training business.
Famous for his reputation as a fair and just trainer, students often comment on how they prefer Barry’s style of delivery and approachable down to earth manner and especially how he can tell a story or two to help facilitate learning.
With the development of the RTO, Barry was able to source some family talent from his daughter De’Anne, who has now been with All States Training since 2005. De’Anne has spent most of her working career in the Fast Food Industry, including ten years as Restaurant General Manager for the KFC food chain.
De’Anne brings with her a significant amount of experience in management, leadership, book-keeping, HRM, administration and training, (having trained a wide variety of age groups and cultures over many years).
With at least 10 years experience within the Construction & Rural industries, De’Anne has become a great contact for clients who are often in need of assistance when trying to select courses to suit their needs.
Having now completed further training related to the various industries that All States Training target, De’Anne has become a vital member helping take the company to the next level.
