"I thought the worst thing that could go wrong was you could go broke"

Mark Gatty had a successful corporate career before he chose to go into business for himself.

BUT the change was not an obvious progression.

He went from working on doing deals in the Terrace … to owning and running an asphalt supply and lay business. What could have been more different?

For over 13 years he successfully grew the company’s goodwill and financial success on a basis of sound, yet simple, business principles, creating a loyal workforce and quality work.

And most interestingly, he ultimately prepared the business for sale in a way that meant the new owners had the best chance to continue to improve the business and also be successful.

It’s a fascinating story of succeeding by always striving to do the best for customers, employees and business partners.
