‘PT Blink is a step-change in the construction industry’<\/h3>\n

\u201cWill is an exceptional talent and his experience, skills and relationships make him the right person to lead our US operations,\u201d commented PT Blink Executive Chairman Mark Franklin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US is our major growth market outside Australia and Will is ideally positioned to oversee our project pipeline and to build our horizontally integrated partner ecosystem as we transition into a cloud-based platform and marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPT Blink is a step-change in the construction industry and I am excited to be part of something that will drive substantive benefits for all stakeholders using our process, from developers and owners through to our partner network,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a pleasure to be working closely with our partners HPG who clearly appreciate the benefits of speed, quality, safety and waste minimisation baked into our process. I look forward to expanding our ecosystem to scale those benefits via our cloud-based platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
