Nick Katris - General Manager “My plan is to create a work environment that is successful, satisfying and enjoyable. Let’s face it, half of our waking time is spent at work so it is important that this time is spent wisely.” Our team is led by Nick Katris, a professional in the Industrial Wheels and Castors market, providing both vision and a wealth of experience for the company. Nick spent a couple of years working in the EHI Australia warehouse, while attending university, before leaving the company to expand his horizons. Fast forward ten years and Nick returned as the National Sales Manager after managing Flexello Australia in NSW for much of the time . Working his way from National Sales Manager, to Divisional Manager and now General Manager, Nick strives to further strengthen EHI Australia’s position as one of the leading hardware/Industrial suppliers in Australia.
His goal is to further develop
global ties with sister companies, including Colson, to realise
the full benefit of being a part of the world’s largest
Industrial wheel and castor group. Of utmost importance to Nick is
to surround himself with a team of skilled, diligent and ethical
people. With the right team EHI is well equipped to cope with
the day to day challenges facing every medium business. |

Ashley Harris - Hardware Sales Representative (VIC) "I have found my time with EHI to be a great challenge and at times, I’m taken back to my roots with products like our new release of the ‘Pocket Garden’!" Ashley began his
career with EHI a little over 2 years ago. A qualified
horticulturalist with 14 years experience in that industry,

does, from first meetings to call cycles and timely follow-ups
with his customers. |
