qualified Accounts Technician. I have a Retail Management background and lived some of my life in
the heart of London where for over a decade I was a Pub Landlady. I have travelled to many places
but at heart I am a home bird – as they say ‘There is no place like home’

Project Director

Russell Garnaut

Russell is a native of the south coast of Australia where his background was in large-scale
infrastructure projects. His work on major music and sporting events brought him to Europe and
eventually to Ireland. It wasn’t long before he was working on some international brands and
large scale projects for our sister company, which ultimately led to his appointment as our
Operations Manager. He’s charged with coordinating our team of project managers, technicians
and designers and his hands-on experience in senior logistical roles make him an invaluable
member of the NYD team.

Previous to joining Nineyards, Daniel spent 12 years working for Carroll Joinery all the way from a general operative up to head of production. During that time, he upskilled  with courses in joinery and carpentry, amongst others, so he knows what is required from beginning to end of a production schedule. The business is lucky to have someone of Daniels Calibre, who knows what a client wants and isn’t afraid to push to make that happen.
