About Us
As told by Jean Wilson…
A London apprentice
Chris was born in Paddington, London. Since he was a young lad, he had an interest in the building industry because his father was a master plumber. Chris started his apprenticeship with Taylor Woodrow — one of the largest home building and general construction companies in Britain. He completed his Advanced City and Guilds with Distinctions in 1983.
In 1984 we got married, and I soon got a job working in the accounts department at a large hardware company. Chris ran a small business in the UK doing general building work and was doing pretty well, but we really wanted better opportunities for our children. And so, in 1987, we emigrated to Australia with our nine-month old daughter Laura.

From small beginnings
Northern Industries has been trading since February 1990. From small beginnings, it has grown over the years. I run the administration side and all the office and behind-the-scenes aspects of the business. Chris carries out all quotations and managerial concerns for the company as well as being hands-on with the projects.
Winning contracts large and small
Northern Industries continues to be a real passion for us all. We’ve been determined to succeed through tough economic times and we believe that part of our success has been our willingness to carry out projects of any size in both city and country. It really is our flexibility and our size that helps us win contracts, large and small.
