Founder and Managing Director
Shane started out as a cabinetmaker, before moving into building luxury yachts and then finally into the world of commercial fitout and refurbishment.
He started Aurora on April Fools Day 2009. At the time, with the global financial crisis crashing down around him, he felt like the joke was on him, trying to start a business at the top end of a well-established market. But with a vision and a determination to deliver a better quality of commercial fitouts, Shane and the team have taken Aurora from strength to strength with a healthy year-on-year growth.
“Everyone who works with Aurora remarks on our integrity and capacity to solve problems without drama. This is an industry renowned for making margin by creating problems clients pay extra to resolve, so that’s an achievement I’m hugely proud of”.
Some of Shane’s career highlights include being named Business News 40 under 40 winner in 2015 and Aurora being named in the Top 100 BRW Fast Starters in 2012 and 2013.
Shane is a member of the Australian Institute of Builders and runs an annual Toy Drive donating to various charities.
Construction Manager
Maurie joined Aurora in late 2010. Maurie and Shane have worked together in different industries and companies for 10 years prior to partnering up in Aurora. When Shane was looking for someone and complement the Aurora team, Maurie was the obvious choice. Nothing gets past Maurie. His dedication to delivering the highest quality, and making sure not one detail is missed, ensures the best end result on every project.
Not only does he supervise and deliver projects, he enjoys a mentoring role for our site managers and younger staff – passing on his knowledge and leadership to others in the Aurora team.
Before joining Aurora, Maurie’s work highlights included working at Mobile Alabama, managing fitouts of a 101m high-speed ferry and one of the world’s most technically advanced high-speed combat ships for the US Navy.
