Neil Trimble- Events Manager

I have bee involved in Australia's temporary seating industry since 1985 when I designed and built a new seating system and started AAA Seating in Melbourne. The past 23 years have seen many changes, to my life and to what was then a fledgling industry, with ASR now owning and continuing to operate AAA. I find my role now as Business Development Manager for ASR Events to be very exciting, allowing me to apply my attained skills to all aspects of Sales Management and Marketing whilst still being involved with design and development of new product.
I enjoy time away with my wife in our little "pop-top", spending time with our 3 kids, 5 "grandies" and the odd pint of Guinness or glass of red with our wonderful friends

I joined AAA Seating in early 2008 as a casual labourer. I worked on site at various events around Victoria and also at the depot doing general warehouse duties. My responsibilities as Branch Manager, ASR Events Victoria, cover the warehouse as well as administration and all the functions that are carried out within these areas. I also support the Operations Manager with regards to logistical and organizational functions which keep the on site crew working like a well oiled machine.
Outside of work I like to follow the cricket and tinker in my shed, however, my kids Michael and Laura and my partner Kriss are my inspiration and the source of my smile.

I have been working for Australian Staging and Rigging for a nearly 8 years. Prior to that I worked for Coates Hire for over 7 years as a Branch Manager at three different locations. I have previously worked in the rigging and scaffolding areas of our operation however over recent years I have had more of an involvement in the major events area. In particular I enjoy the challenge of overseeing events such as the Clipsal 500 and the Indy 300 on the Gold Coast- let me tell you there are plenty of challenges too! Away from work I enjoy getting away to Mannum with my partner Marie and kids Jarrad, Dannielle and Nicole.

Working as part of the ASR Events team now allows me to get involved with the v8'sI really enjoy all the challenges that are thrown my way and working with a good team in order to get the job done.
My time away from work is spent with my wife and my two gorgeous girls, Charli and Bridget. I also enjoy my football and golf when ever I get a chance.
