Brett Young

Despite his youthful last name, Brett celebrated his 60th birthday in September. Having joined Mitchell’s in 2008 during the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project, Youngy has been a vital member of our construction crews across numerous projects. Currently on the East Grampians Project in Ararat, Youngy’s expertise continues to shine. Happy 60th Youngy!

Ian Betteridge

Joining Youngy in the 60-club is none other than our steadfast HSEQ Compliance Manager, Ian Betteridge. Currently assisting on the East Grampian Project in Ararat, Ian’s extensive knowledge of pipelines has been a tremendous asset to the team. Happy 60th, Ian!

Lee Briggs

Our esteemed COO and Director Lee turns the big 5-0 in December. Briggsy originally worked for Ross Bennett many years ago, where he was subcontracted onto a Mitchell project circa the year 2000. Not long after, Lee officially became an employee of Mitchell’s, and the rest is history. Project Manager to many of our projects over the past two decades, Lee’s engineering knowledge and mentorship is invaluable; and fair to say Mitchell Water wouldn’t be what it is today without him. Happy 50th Birthday!
