Meet the team

Shane Mitchell

Technical Trainer

"Having worked as a roofer for 28 years, I made the decision to leave the tools behind in favour of passing on my considerable knowledge as a Technical Trainer at the BMI Academy. 
My experience gives me a unique perspective in my role as a trainer and I am committed to ensuring that each participant walks away with the confidence and know-how to succeed in a constantly evolving industry. 
I am excited to be part of BMI Academy’s mission to upskill and empower the next generation of roofing professionals, working alongside my talented colleagues to shape the future of the roofing industry."


Technical Trainer

Stuart Farndell

Technical Trainer

"In my previous role as a technical trainer and a course design officer within the defence industry, I was responsible for creating and delivering specialised training programs. My role involved hands-on training, facilitating skills development and fostering technical skills for those I trained. 
Working at the BMI Academy offers a fantastic opportunity to inspire those within the construction sector wanting to learn about our products and advance knowledge within the roofing sector."

I'm looking forward to bringing my experience to the team and contributing to our success. Thank you for the warm welcome, and I can't wait to embark on this journey with all of you!"
