Norwest have a great team with an eclectic mix of skills. Working with Tony is his support crew and alongside them is their amazing site team of machine operators and deconstruction experts.
Tony
OWNER / DIRECTOR OF WORKS
Tony is our historian and peoples person and is well known in the industry. He’s a local with great rapport and knowledge, knows the area, the buildings and our clients. In fact, he knows the history behind pretty much every building Norwest has deconstructed and the items recovered.
Tony’s experience started at sea as a deck hand and progressed to working as a bosun and 3rd mate on oil rig supply ships spanning some 30 years. After assisting a friend with a demolition company he caught the bug and Norwest has been in operation for the past 18 years.
