New conference room at Blum named
Bryan Cairnduff Room

Blum Australia has paid tribute to Bryan Cairnduff’s passion, dedication and commitment in the naming of the main conference room at Blum Australia’s new premises, located at Len Waters Estate, New South Wales.

Sydney – August, 2011

“Bryan had high respect for the Blum Company and Blum thought the same of Bryan. He even had a hand in developing some of the features and aids we use today. It is fitting that the main conference room at Blum Australia’s new premises should be named after somebody who played such a key role in the success of Blum Australia”, commented Brett Ambrose, Managing Director of Blum Australia.

Bryan lost his fight with cancer in 2007 after a long battle with the illness. He was a skilled cabinetmaker with many years of involvement in the kitchen industry prior to joining Blum via Furniture Hardware Supplies and then Richard Small Distribution in 1997. Bryan possessed outstanding product knowledge and understanding for new products and solutions. He quickly became an expert internally and externally.

“Bryan was always looking for improvements and solutions where he could kill two birds with one stone”, says Christian Schwerzler, Sales Manager of Australia and New Zealand. Bryan loved sharing his knowledge and always had everything under control at AWISA. He organised factory tours of Blum Austria every two years for Blum partners and key people within the industry. Bryan loved going to Austria where he could show with pride ‘where it all comes together’. He knew the factories inside and out.

Bryan Cairnduff was a highly motivated and very competent colleague, a great sportsman and family man. Blum Australia is proud to see Bryan’s son Marshal Cairnduff assuming a role in customer service with an aspiration to become an Area Manager.

Bryan shone with a good sense of humour, optimism and great enthusiasm. Christian sums up Bryan well, “He is just as he always was – ahead of us”.
