Matt Starbuck
Matt’s upbringing on a 1200-hectare family farm, located just 50 km north of Melbourne, has instilled in him core values and tools that he applies to various aspects of his professional projects, business relationships, and personal life. Growing up with a successful earthmoving business on the property, he learned from a young age the importance of genuine hard work and it’s rewarding nature. Combined with honest country values of respect and the belief that any job is achievable, it becomes evident from the start that this authentic upbringing influences not only each project but also the individuals involved in Matt’s work, emphasising his crucial role in fostering team unity.
His experiences on the farm and working with machinery steered Matt towards engineering and welding. His thirst for knowledge soon took him across Victoria and even throughout Australia, serving specialised clients who sought extraordinary showpieces for their personal homes, clients, and overseas holiday homes.
Opportunities quickly arose in diverse sectors, including scaffolding, construction, and shopfitting, each demanding managerial expectations and leadership skills. Matt, never one to lack confidence or ambition, further honed his natural leadership abilities in project management roles, effectively coordinating multiple trades within tight schedules—a characteristic that sets him apart as a “unique breed.”
These endeavours culminated in highly successful and widely acclaimed projects of the highest calibre. Matt transformed his achievements into innovative business concepts, recognising the challenges of finding skilled and honest tradesmen with a versatile foundation to handle various on-site and off-site situations.
“I firmly believe that ATRU Group is a one-of-a-kind, honest, and exciting company to collaborate with. As an asset to the company, I bring a diverse skill set, strong values, and an unwavering passion to ensure 100% client satisfaction with every project or product we deliver.” Matt Starbuck
