Katie now looks after all our holiday accommodation. Katiecame over from the UK where she was property manager for Lampons Residential Letting for 7 years.

In her off-time, Katie loves fishing and Noosa certainly provides the perfect place for that!

Rosemary has been a valued member of Richardson & Wrench team in 1996. Rosie started her career with R&W as a personal assistant to Peter Butt and quickly became recognised for her administration skills. Her background was as store manager of Tradelink/Bunnings Noosa and was one of only two female store managers in Australia. Rosie became more involved with the holiday accommodation business - 'Noosa Resort Management' at the time, and assumed the administration role in 1998. She is now the only original member of staff to still be on board from the early days. Rosie ensures that the day to day running of the company remains smooth and is always putting in her bit answering phones and taking bookings during her already busy day!

Debbie started with Richardson & Wrench in 2003 as a housekeeping manager. Six months later when the maintenance manager's position became available, her ability to deal with difficult situations highlighted her as a good candidate for the job. This is one of the harder jobs in the office with the delicate balancing act between owners/guests and maintenance contractors providing new challenges every day. Many years later and with a doubling of our property portfolio, Debbie has proven she is made of 'the right stuff'. Debbie's background should allude to her skills - her previous position was as marketing manager for Roadshow Entertainment. She now manages hundreds of jobs a week involving similar numbers of contractors. In the off time Debbie loves reading, walking and is a keen movie buff.
