Over more than 30 years in the industry, Andrew has worked with some of the biggest agencies in the country, extensively covering Queensland as well as New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Andrew's knowledge and experience in rural markets is unparalleled. He's worked across all rural and regional sectors, marketing all types of agricultural and pastoral operations and experiencing the industry from all sides.
Having lived and worked in both cities and rural areas, Andrew has run his own property in Kyogle, NSW and operated his own successful franchise, and travelled the country delivering training to other agencies. Operating the most successful marketing business in the Queensland rural real estate network for over 10 years is just one of Andrew's many accolades.
Based in Brisbane for the past 22 years, Andrew's interests include horse racing, travelling, skiing and most importantly, spending time with his family.
Michael has worked in some of Australia's largest agribusiness operations during his 30 year career, applying in-depth knowledge and experience to roles in leadership, marketing and supply chain operations.
With experience across production, feedlotting and processing in both publicly listed and private agricultural enterprises around Australia, Michael understands the complex issues his clients face both nationally and internationally. Michael's pragmatic and results-driven approach ensure he consistently delivers the best possible outcomes for every client he engages with.
To Michael, joining Adcock Partners Property and Livestock represents an opportunity to establish and be a shareholder in a new business focused on agile service delivery and superior client outcomes, and a new chapter in the industry he's so passionate about.
Outside of work, Michael is a family man. Sharing a passion for life in the great outdoors with his two young children, he enjoys camping, water skiing and motorbike riding in his spare time.
During his 23 years in the agribusiness marketing, Nick Hall worked in saleyards, stud sales, and rural real estate agencies before joining the Adcock Partners Property and Livestock team in 2020. Having grown up on the land in Laggan, New South Wales among sheep and cattle, Nick doesn't just work in the industry - he lives and breathes it.
His casual work on pastoral operations, combined with a long and successful tenure in management with Elders, gives Nick the practical experience and strategic insights needed to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.
Starting at Elders in Walcha in 1999, Nick soon rose to Branch Manager and eventually Area Manager, a role that saw him successfully manage 14 branches throughout Northern NSW for five years. His work as Feedlot Buyer for Killara Feedlot during 2019/20, sourcing up to 50,000 cattle per year to supply both the export and domestic markets, remains one of Nick's career highlights.
Client-focused and driven to deliver the accountability, reliability and results rural enterprise owners deserve, Nick returned to sales in 2020. Nick enjoys building long-term relationships with his clients to help grow their business and achieve their strategic goals.
Now based in Walcha, Nick serves all of New South Wales and enjoys sport, travel, fishing, water skiing and spending time with his wife and three children outside of work.
Born and raised on large cattle stations and starting his career on large-scale pastoral operations in Queensland and the Northern Territory, Pat Burke is no stranger to the livestock industry.
Having returned to the Territory to work on stock camps after boarding school, Pat spent a decade gaining valuable hands-on experience working in stock camps and in live export operations. Following a voyage on a live-export vessel Pat was offered a role with one of Australia's largest live export businesses, deepening his understanding of all aspects of the live export supply chain.
From operations and compliance to sales and procurement, Pat knows the challenges our clients face - and what it takes to overcome them to realise the best possible returns.
Bringing both passion and unrivalled experience with him, Pat joined the Adcock Partners Property and Livestock team in 2020 and has since grown a strong client base and network of business relationships. Based in Katherine, Pat will service Northern Australia.
With 10 years in the agricultural industry focusing on the channel country of western Queensland, Sam's career has already seen him work for and with leading corporates in the rural sector. And with a full tank of enthusiasm for the communities and sectors he serves, it's not slowing down any time soon.
Sam's passion and excitement for the rural industry is infectious, driving him to gain experience across different sectors, build strong business relationships, and continually deliver outstanding results for his clients. While his expertise in livestock markets alone makes him well respected in the industry, Sam's work in rural property sales represents a significant contribution to major property sales in the channel country over the last five years.
Away from work Sam enjoys time with his young family, including wife Courtney and beautiful daughter Sadie. Sam is also the President of the Quilpie Diggers Race Club and enjoys being an active part of the community in which he lives.
