Andrew Terrell is the Director and Licensee in Charge of Bright & Duggan Hunter — the strata management arm covering the Newcastle and Hunter region. He relocated to Newcastle to launch the operation from scratch, and has spent years publicly arguing that strata and building management need to work more closely together.

In this episode we get into what it actually takes to run a strata business in a regional market, why preventative maintenance is the thing most buildings still get wrong, the future of integrated strata and building management, and what the Hunter region tells us about where the industry is heading.

An honest conversation from someone who knows this industry from the ground up.

The Strata Room is a series of 20 conversations with the principals and leaders shaping strata management in Australia. Hosted by Dino Biordi, Managing Director of LUNA Management.
