Fresh faces for Master Builders’ membership team Members across three different Queensland regions will now have a new point of contact after three new Membership Recruitment Officers were recently welcomed. Emma Peters – North Queensland
Amanda Little – North Brisbane

Proud to be part of an all-female office, Emma Peters recently joined the team in Townsville, proving that there really are no gender barriers in the north of the state.
New members in the northern suburbs of Brisbane will now have a new contact when it comes to all things membership as we welcome Amanda Little to the head office team.
With over 20 years’ experience in customer service, account management and sales management, including a decade in media and marketing, Ian brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Master Builders’ team.
With a background in real estate, recruitment and painting contracting, Emma is an experienced sales professional who is looking forward to assisting Master Builders’ members to grow their businesses using the suite of products and services on offer. “I feel very passionately about working with Master Builders to help members stay at the forefront of the building and construction industry,” Ms Peters said. “At the moment I’m working hard to get out and introduce myself to the local building industry and I certainly encourage members to visit the Townsville office or give us a call if they need any support from Master Builders. We are just a phone call away if you need help.” Emma will cover the North Queensland territory which stretches from Home Hill to Ingham and west to Mount Isa. She will play a role in delivering industry events in the region that will provide important and relevant information for anyone who works in the building industry.
Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Amanda has over seven years’ experience in residential new home sales, having worked for building companies like Cardel Homes and Greenboro Homes, both of which she can’t speak more highly of. Since the move to Australia, Amanda has indulged in her passion for real estate and construction, working for companies like wellknown Japanese home builder, Sekisui House and Stockland. “My profession has allowed me to be part of one of the biggest purchases people make, helping families build everything from their first home to custom multi-million dollar homes,” Amanda said. “I love working with people and building real relationships along the way. My focus has been on providing each and every client with an extraordinary customer experience. “I’m keen to get out there and meet as many new, potential and existing members of Master Builders as possible.”
Emma brings with her a wealth of experience in the commercial building sector and her appointment will help maintain Master Builders’ unmatched regional footprint.
His background of seven years as the Sales Manager for the Fraser Coast Chronicle, the Fraser Coast’s local daily newspaper, gives him a great standing and knowledge of the Burnett Wide Bay area. Experience in group training, with a strong focus on developing opportunities for employing apprentices, training, HR, IR, safety issues across a wide variety of industries, also places him in a great position within our industry. Ian is an active member of the Fraser Coast community and is excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead for him as part of the Master Builders’ team. He has already been working hard to get out there and meet as many people in the industry as possible. “My focus is on growing Master Builders’ membership base, to ensure we continue to be the strongest voice and support organisation for the building and construction industry in Queensland,” Ian said. “This will ensure we continue to add value to our members through outstanding customer service.”
