Trevor Yates

Trevor Yates is our Group GM and Director. Originally from the UK but now a fully fledged Aussie, he started the Safehouse Australia business in June 2010.

Holding an honours degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Sussex, he started his career in investment banking in London, before being transferred to Tokyo, where he lived for 1.5 years. After intending to take a sabbatical to travel around SE Asia for 6 months, he fell into the oil and gas industry while exploring Malaysia, where he gained offshore experience before becoming operations manager for a habitat and rope access business – a position he held for 5 years.

Trevor loves anything with an engine and the faster the better. In business he loves working with the team to solve customer’s challenges and takes pride in the fact that so many of the original employees from 2010 are still with the business – many in senior management roles.
