Company Directors of Delta
The team:
The Delta team is made up of individuals that possess a sound depth of skills, knowledge and experience related to the fire, security, business and public service sectors.
Terry Godde
Terry Godde has over 22 years in the fire industry in a number of capacities. He has worked in this field in both a full time and part time capacity for both the state and private sectors.
Prior to founding this project Terry worked for organisations such as BHP, involved primarily in customer service and sales. Terry was involved in establishing a start up sales centre which in the space of several weeks transformed from a small start up operation to a viable project that exceeded all budget expectations.
Over a short space of time Terry was promoted through the organisation to area sales manager, responsible for a multi-million dollar sales budget and over 200 clients.
Terry formed Delta with Greg House in 2003 with the view that client service, safety and Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting Service (ARFFS) could be better provided by a smaller professional organisation, readily able to meet their client’s needs in a timely responsive manner.
Greg House
Greg House has also shared a similar path as Terry, being involved as a Director of Delta Fire Service. Both Greg and Terry have valuable practical trade backgrounds coupled with extensive experience in customer service. Greg has 15 years of experience in Fire Fighting Industry.
Greg has been instrumental in identifying solutions for Delta in areas such as Fire Fighter Training and holds Workplace Trainer and Assessor qualifications. Greg has also been carefully working behind the scenes to develop solutions to a range of key technical issues and has identified HR and business management software systems.
Greg and Terry have both established independent businesses in the past and this kind of hands on experience is invaluable when establishing a service company such as Delta.
