Travis, Peter, and Trent Taylor

On July 1st, Multinail announced that Trent Taylor was being appointed as Group CEO. The announcement, made by Peter Taylor, also sees Peter moving to Non-Executive Chairman.

“Trent’s extensive experience and strategic insight make him the perfect leader to guide Multinail, and, as I transition to the role of Non-Executive Chairman, Trent will play a key role in advancing our mission to provide you with exceptional products and services you have become accustomed to,” said Peter Taylor.

The family-owned business sees the continuation of the family operated structure and culture. Set up in 1979 by Peter Taylor, Multinail has endured and grown over the last 4 decades, with its principles of staff being valued like family as its core to success. It’s gone from strength to strength, with Peter seeing the business through some extremely tough times, to become a key driver in the industry. It exemplifies the true meaning of family business with both Trent and Travis Taylor dedicated to the growth and development of Multinail – expanding overseas, and furthering the market when it comes to engineered timber designs and solutions, like with Multinail Advance. The amalgamated wealth of experience the Taylor family holds will continue to power the Multinail name and all its endeavours.

“Combined years in Multinail are Peter (46 years), Trent (26 years) and Travis (18 years) so a total of 90 years. Additionally, Peter was active in the timber building industry for almost a decade before starting Multinail,” said Trent Taylor. 

“This evolution in our leadership will build on our legacy of excellence, ensuring that Multinail remains a market leader, continually pushing the boundaries of quality and innovation. We value the trust and partnership we share with our colleagues and stakeholders in the industry, and we thank you for your ongoing support and collaboration,” said Peter Taylor.

FTMA would like to congratulate Trent Taylor on his appointment and wish him all the success of continuing the family business – important to the industry businesses in Australia and overseas in its progressive technology and developments. Congratulations to Travis Taylor as he heads up Multinail Advance. FTMA would also like to acknowledge the entrepreneurial, determined, and steadfast dedication that Peter Taylor has given throughout his leadership, with his deep industry knowledge and the significant developments he has advanced with Multinail. We understand how much Peter means to the Multinail family, and are pleased to support Trent and Travis through the years to come with their leadership roles, as a continuation to the family enterprise.
