The Team has over 50 years combined experience in dealing with customers at all levels - the home handy man, the do-it-yourself-er, the government department, the tradesman, the manufacturer, the school student or the better-half. When you deal with Ezimetal Raymond Terrace, you're dealing with a team that has carved out a unique place for itself within the steel industry.
Warren Lawrence (Woc)
Proprietor
"Woc" has lived and worked in the Raymond Terrace area all his life. He's been managing Ezimetal Raymond Terrace since 1999. Previous experience in the building industry has given him a unique insight into the needs of his customers. Woc's suppliers know he drives a hard bargain, and his customers know they always get good value and good advice when they deal with him.
Steve Allen
Assistant Manager
Steve began working in the steel industry in Central Western NSW way back in 1981. Since moving to Newcastle in 1987, he has worked in various locations around the Hunter area including Raymond Terrace, Salamander Bay and Newcastle itself. He shuffles a lot of papers around, and occasionally serves a customer or two.
Erin Lawrence
Sales
Woc's daughter, Erin, joined the team in 2015 and has been a great asset since coming on board. She's a quick learner and has become a familiar friendly face behind the counter, helping customers out and adding that feminine touch to the place.
Get to know her, and you'll be glad you did!
Steve McArthur (Macca)
Sales
If you call the office, it's pretty likely you'll speak to Macca. His background in hardware and other related trades sets him up to find solutions for our customers.
Tim Burke
Sales/Store & Deliveries
Since 1998, Tim has been part of the furniture here at Ezimetal Raymond Terrace. His larrikin approach and knowledge of steel products make him a real asset to Ezimetal Raymond Terrace.
Andrew Bell (Belly)
Fabrication
Belly joined the Ezimetal team in 2014. He has had years of experience in steel fabrication.
You will often hear him singing songs out of his pitch range from across the yard.
Billy Lawrence
Fabrication & Store
Just to keep it all in the family, Woc's son Billy joined us in early 2016 as an apprentice fabricator. He works closely with Belly, so you guessed it - it's B1 and B2!
Ryan Hamilton
Store & Deliveries
Ryan joined the team early in 2018 as another great all-rounder. When he's not cutting steel at Ezimetal, he enjoys spending time with his mates.
Jonathan Elias
Steel Fabrication
Jono joined our crew around Christmas 2017 as an apprentice fabriator. He's a big help in the fab department, and when he's off duty, he enjoys fishing & footy.
Dave Creaswell (Red)
Store & Deliveries
Red's been with us since 2010 and his time is divided between driving our delivery truck and getting the next delivery ready. His middle name is 'hi-ab'.
Mark Lawrence
Store & Deliveries
Mark joined our crew in early 2012, and makes a valuable contribution both behind the wheel and in the warehouse. He's just as easy to get along with as his 'big' brother Woc.
Gav Buckmaster
Helping Hand
Gav comes to us through a "supported employment" program, and helps out for several hours per week. He's fitted in well as part of the family and we're glad to have him!
