Matt believes company values like trust, mutual respect and passion have helped the business grow in a positive direction. He gets a great deal of satisfaction from ensuring that our team always delivers the very best outcomes for our customers. 

One of Matt’s main ambitions is for Eifers to continue to lead in providing time-sensitive services in civil construction and critical infrastructure. Technology is playing a vital role in the future of the industry and Matt is committed to furthering our position as the provider of choice for time-critical concrete technologies.

In his capacity as Systems Manager, Wayne continues to participate in the management of the company. He sees his role within the business predominantly in an advisory capacity, mentoring and contributing to the growth of the business with a transition to retirement as the next phase.

The success of Eifers as a family company starting from nothing to what it has become today gives Wayne great satisfaction. He is very proud of the skills, determination and courage shown by both Daniel and Matt in growing the company and developing as individuals.

Whether at work or home, Wayne finds great joy and contentment in being involved with family and friends, and of recent years, being a grandparent has provided him with many happy hours.
