He then spent two years in Sydney in an operations role before returning to Perth in 2004 to take up the senior position of Mining & Industrial Supply Manager for Coventry’s. During this time Gavin managed and coordinated key supply contracts with Rio Tinto, BHP and major mining contractors including Barminco and Byrnecut. The role also included managing many other mining consumable contracts within the Goldfields and Northwest regions.
Gavin was then promoted to Coventry's Area Manager overseeing 11 regional branches. Prior to his move to IIMS Gavin was Coventry's State Operations Manager in the Northern Territory.
"Gavin's extensive experience and knowledge will further reinforce the team at IIMS and assist us in delivering outstanding customer service and the unique added value our customers enjoy. We are delighted to have him on board," said Rod Cox, IIMS Managing Director.

IIMS set to double in three years
May 6, 2008
After three years of accelerated growth, the newly-formed board of IIMS has challenged the management team - led by IIMS Founder Rod Hall - to double revenue and profits in the next three years.
This is not a stretch goal because the company has met or exceeded these growth targets in the past three years.
IIMS will continue to focus on service, range and price but through improved systems, technology and greater resources this is a very realistic target.
IIMS is known for its can-do attitude and its ability to get product on site within 24 to 48 hours. This has set IIMS apart from its competitors and with over 100 years of experience in the current sales team, it's nice to know the person at the other end knows exactly what you need to get the job done.
All team members will have the opportunity to share in IIMS' growth through profit share, equity participation and professional development in the coming years.
