“I am confident that we can create a more successful painting
and decorating industry in Australia—an industry which
promotes and enhances the successes of everyone involved.”
I’d like to take this opportunity to
introduce myself; my name is
Nick Koerbin, and in October 2015,
I was appointed as the Chief Executive
Officer of Master Painters Australia
Limited (MPAL).
This is the first time in the 100-year
history of MPAL that a CEO has been
appointed. My appointment came about
as the result of the development of the
MPAL national Strategic Plan.
The MPAL Board has recognised the
need for a national body that will: grow
the painting and decorating industry
in Australia; promote the interests
of all members; develop a broader,
more in-depth range of services; and
collaboratively build industry relationships
which will ultimately be of value in the
painting and decorating industry.
I bring more than 25 years experience
as a CEO for industry and professional
associations to the MPAL. Throughout
the course of my career I have held
senior executive and CEO positions in
a variety of associations, including the
Total Quality Management Institute,
Materials Australia, the Australian Human
Resources Institute, the Australian
Quality Council, the Institute of Insurance,
the Financial Planning Association, and
the Furniture Industry Association of
Australia.
In a number of these roles, I have been
responsible for managing significant
change programs, implemented at a
time when industry associations have
recognised that their model of serving
members needs improvement.
My first objective in my role at MPAL is
to implement the new national Strategic
Plan. I will focus on developing long-term
partnerships with industry suppliers
to ensure both suppliers and MPAL
members can achieve their mutual goals.
We have a number of challenges ahead.
However, if we all work together, I am
confident that we can quickly create a
more successful painting and decorating
industry in Australia—an industry which
promotes and enhances the success
of everyone involved, including MPAL
members, suppliers, business owners,
qualified painters and decorators, and
apprentices.
I look forward to building positive, longterm relationships with all members of
MPAL, and working collaboratively with
stakeholders and members to promote
Australia’s painting and decorating
industry.
Please feel free to contact me via

0418 568 093 should you have any
feedback.
