As a leader in Elders’ livestock business, Garry Cartwright’s priority is to nurture the next generation of up-and-coming talent.
Garry Cartwright has been with Elders for a total of more than a decade, across two stints.
His experience in the southern Queensland livestock sector is nearly second to none, having worked in both agent and leadership roles throughout his career.
Currently, Garry works as southern Queensland’s livestock manager, which involves supporting branches in their livestock offering, building their numbers and bringing clients on board.
Garry said working for Elders, and in livestock sales generally, has been an incredibly rewarding pathway.
“The best part of this role is absolutely seeing great results coming through for your clients,”
“But aside from that, a great thing is when I see young people striving for and achieving results and getting that real sense of achievement.
“It comes down to that sense of pride and being able to step back and see everyone working together as a single network.”
Garry said he enjoys mentoring and spending time with new and up-and-coming agents.
“A very proud moment for me was when one of our younger agents came up to me and said, ‘thank you for giving us a start, you don’t realise how much you do for us’, and I just replied, ‘actually, you don't realise what you do for me’.
“I get a really big kick out of the sense of satisfaction I see from agents across Queensland, when they have a good result over a mob of sheep or cattle or whatever it may be. That’s one of the best feelings.”
