Engineering consultants Ashburner Francis has appointed four new Directors – long-term employees John Kereczko, Clinton Walker, Neil Scott and Michael Heaslip.
In Toowoomba, John Kereczko and Clinton Walker have been promoted to Directors after several years providing clients with engineering consultancy services for mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and energy-efficiency projects.
In Townsville, Neil Scott joins long-term Director Wayne Benson.
At the firm’s Northern Territory office, Director Graham Heaslip will remain as Senior Associate and has chosen to hand over the senior management reins to Michael Heaslip.
To facilitate a seamless transition for NT clients, Michael is predominantly based in Darwin but will also maintain support for Ashburner Francis’ Brisbane office.
Their appointments follow increasing demand for the firm’s services and a growing team of engineers to resource a hefty project portfolio.
The new Directors join Managing Director Brian Kenny and Directors Toby Murdoch, Lara Harris, Paul McKenna and Wayne Benson in celebrating the businesses’ 50th anniversary in 2026.
