Gary Lawrence
Microenterprise Development Manager | Bunbury, WA
Gary joined Many Rivers in 2020 as the Microenterprise Development Manager for the Southwest region of Western Australia.
With over 25 years of experience in banking and finance, Gary has worked across metropolitan Perth and various regional and remote rural areas of Western Australia. During this time, he developed strong management and analytical skills, assisting farmers, retailers, and small business owners to achieve their goals by focusing on business planning, cash flow management and forecasting to optimise profitability.
Also, as General Manager of a Western Australian liquid fertiliser company, Gary successfully navigated the complexities of running a small to medium-sized business. His responsibilities included overseeing manufacturing processes, marketing, employment and payroll, sales and purchasing, as well as income and expense management.
A particularly memorable chapter in his career was working as a Drillers’ Offsider on a drill rig in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia. This role provided a unique experience, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and stunning landscapes, and proved to be both inspiring and rewarding after years in leadership positions.
Gary is enthusiastic to share his extensive business knowledge and support with aspiring entrepreneurs launching their own ventures, as well as business owners seeking to enhance profitability or refine processes within their current operations.
