Milpeak Pty Ltd recognises that people are the core of a good communications business. Our product lines are important, our experience is important and so is our approach to our clients, but none of this amounts to anything without the right people on the job.
To this end we aim to be an employer of choice with a key performance indicator being the retention of staff. Our staff come from the communications and defence industries with diverse experience across many projects and sectors.
Some of the key people in the business are:
