The Daily Dose #333 | Goop Guys GM Mark Sutton on Protecting the Investment, Franchise Growth & Australian Manufacturing

Mark Sutton has just stepped into the GM role at Goop Guys, the surface protection business builders rely on at handover. He's spent his career in hardware, paint and construction materials, starting in his father's hardware store in Cleveland, Brisbane, then leading business development for Wattyl across Australia and New Zealand, growing a network of more than a hundred stores at Everhard Industries, and working with Crimsafe Group before joining the twenty five year old family business behind Goop Guys.

Az sits down with Mark to talk about:

- What it actually means to protect an investment, for the builder and the customer at the other end of it

- Franchise growth in the construction industry, and where the opportunity sits for builders

- Why Australian manufacturing capability matters, and what it will take to rebuild it

- The project management habits that separate a good handover from a bad one

- Seventeen years of community football leadership at the Wynnum Wolves, and what building a team on the field taught him about building one in business

And as always, Az closes with the question every guest answers: what makes a good builder?
