The Killen Furniture Team.

When you have an amazing team, you get amazing results!

Anthony

owner | cabinet maker

This guy just cannot sit still! Anthony (but to most known as Skip) believes that every holiday should include mountain hikes, ocean swims and water crafts…lazing about is just not in his nature! He also believes in quality. His passion for furniture making has truly been lifelong. After winning a nation-wide competition in cabinet making that resulted in a scholarship to Tuscany, Italy, he became completely inspired and decided to make a career of it. Killen Furniture is not far off celebrating two decades of business. Anthony prides himself on attention to detail and the use of high quality and unique products in joinery that Killen Furniture offers.

Jackson

Cabinet maker | CNC Programmer

Jackson is a skilled drift racer and spends much of his spare time either in or under his car. Competing all over the country, Jackson has racked up loads of success in competition (his trophy shelf is overflowing). This success is attributed to his meticulous work made to his car with custom racing features AND crazy ridiculous track skills! He is also one of our fully qualified tradesmen who completed his Apprenticeship with us three years ago. A perfectionist on the tools, Jackson is also amazing on the CNC programming sophisticated instructions that compliment our CAD software package.

Darren

CAD ARCHITECT | DESIGNER

Darren, fondly known as Daz, is super environmentally aware and enjoys doing his bit to contribute to this planet’s sustainability. Whether it be food or kitchen manufacture, he does the hard yards to ensure the most positive impact on the environment is implemented. Surprisingly current with the music scene, he provides weekly advice on the best tracks for Melissa’s dance class choreography. But there is more! Paired with his architectural and design skills is his ability to think forward as far as aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality are concerned, Daz designs gorgeous spaces, making him a super valuable team player at Killen Furniture.

Chris

apprentice tradesman

Chris is new to the Killen Furniture Team, and boy are we impressed with the start he has made! You may have seen Chris around town before and we are fairly certain coffee lovers all over the region are cursing us for stealing their insanely amazing Barista!

Favourite Movie: The Goonies

Doppelgänger:

Jackson

Joiner

‘Cool. Cool. Cool.’ Jackson is literally one of the happiest people we know! He is a full-on creative who loves repurposing things to give them a new life. He is currently building his own home by sourcing, fixing and making new with his own bare hands…impressive! Jackson is there in a heart beat when times get busy at Killen Furniture, putting his skills to use as part of the team in the Workshop and singing his (actually very talented!) lungs out.

Doppelgänger: Jake Peralta (Not so much in looks, but 100% in personality!)

Jack

apprentice tradesman

When he’s not at work, he is busy breaking (sadly, not of the dance kind), training horses and competing in (and regularly winning) camp draughts all over the countryside. As for trade training, this is not his first time at the rodeo! Jack has completed a Traineeship in Saddlery.
