David Wardle on manufacturing innovation

David Wardle, Managing Director of Quik Corp, on how his dynamic Queensland business is delivering innovation to the agricultural, emergency services and mining sectors.

It’s raw, it’s real, it’s unKEMPt – a podcast for founders, investors and entrepreneurs hosted by Queensland Chief Entrepreneur Leanne Kemp, the founder and CEO of Everledger.

This week, Leanne talks to David Wardle, Managing Director of Quik Corp. David might not fit the image you have in your mind of a start-up entrepreneur – you’re unlikely to find him in a hoodie and white sneakers, hanging out in Silicon Valley – but his company’s completely customisable products are changing the agricultural, emergency services and mining sectors, with numerous applications in industrial and commercial markets.

David discusses the secret sauce behind Quik Corp’s inventions, and how the company has been able to commercialise them. Then, he explains why the Sunshine Coast is becoming such a popular industrial destination.

Then, in this week’s Leannesplaining segment, Leanne turns the tables, and asks you the questions that every entrepreneur should be asking themselves.

UnKEMPt is hosted by Leanne Kemp and produced by the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur and The Content Division. Like what you hear?
