After four years at the helm, Nigel O’Neil is relinquishing his role in the top position at the Victorian real estate group.
Director Mike McCarthy has been appointed the network’s new temporary chief executive officer in the wake of Mr O’Neil’s departure, induced by his desire to pursue alternative career opportunities.
“It has been a special privilege to lead this organisation, but after much consideration and off the back of such incredible achievements of late, I feel this is the right time for me to hand the baton over to the next generation of leaders of Barry Plant to guide the group into its next phase,” Mr O’Neil said.
Having played a key role in facilitating the network’s strategic growth, Mr O’Neil added that he is extremely proud of what they have achieved over the last four years and look forward to seeing the business continue to thrive.
Throughout his tenure, Mr O’Neil oversaw the implantation of the group’s recently launched RTO training program, pinned as capable of offering a “unique” blend of learning styles after being confirmed as having met the necessary requirements of the Australian Skills Quality Authority to operate as a registered training institution.
He also played a significant role in overseeing the addition of four new offices in Macleod, Yarraville, and Maryborough.
Mr McCarthy credited Mr O’Neil as a “tremendous leader with the Barry Plant network over the last four years,” adding, “we wish him well for the future”.
“He leaves the business in a very strong position with a clear strategy in place, and we thank him for his invaluable contribution to the group, which is performing well across both city and regional areas,” he said.
He explained that Barry Plant “is in the position it is today as a result of the passion, commitment and expertise of our people. I am certain we have the right team in place with a definitive strategy, a compelling purpose, and strong values to continue to deliver long-term outcomes for all our stakeholders.”
The search for Mr O’Neil’s permanent successor has commenced.
