DIRECTOR

Tim’s ultimate passion is his team at Viden. He believes their thirst for knowledge, commitment to collaboration and drive for excellence are what make Viden stand out in the industry.

He also believes in balance for the team - when their lives are in balance, it makes them more productive within the business. Practicing what he preaches, you’ll find Tim balancing work with a bit of surfing, skiing or biking.

When Tim is not braving the great outdoors or at work, you’ll find him being a sports Dad on the sidelines of Hagley Park or Kerrs Reach cheering his girls on.

DIRECTOR

Mark believes in a flexible, collaborative and relaxed environment for the staff at Viden. He knows this is how the team can offer their best every day.

When Mark isn’t at work, you’ll find him spending time in his local Diamond Harbour community - whether that’s coaching his kid’s sports team or volunteering on the local Fire Brigade. Sometimes you might even find him letting off some steam on a bike track at lunchtime with Tim.
