Episode Details

Gordon has been part of Gillies & Mackay since, basically, the very beginning. From laying slabs with John and Grant as a teenager, to becoming the operations director and Cara’s right hand man in leading the legacy forward.

In this episode, Cara reflects on the man who has been in her life since childhood: the funny, warm, endlessly hardworking “big brother” figure who helped raise not only her, but the business too – and helped steer it through some of its hardest eras.

We revisit the turning points that reshaped Gordon and Cara's relationship: cultural turbulence, leadership transition, COVID crisis, and the moment Gordon stepped forward to help Cara carry the weight.

Gordon isn’t just a company director – he’s one of the strongest foundations within the business.

This is the story of the man who shows up, every day, for everyone – and the legacy he’s still building.
