Welcome to Nixon Communications Head Office, Gladstone Branch

Nixon Communications was established by John Nixon in Gladstone in 1977 as a one man business and its Head Office is still here, at 2/38 Lord Street. Today John Nixon remains Managing Director of the Nixon Group of companies.

In the last 32 years, Company growth has been steady and now includes more than 60 staff working on projects throughout Australia, New Guinea and the Solomons. Most growth has been in the Central Queensland mining district, with the Rockhampton Branch opening in 1989, Mackay in 2000, and Rockhampton satellite operations purchased in Blackwater in 2004 and in Emerald in 2009.

The Administration team in Gladstone is headed by Justine Blankenhagen who is Gladstone Office Manager and also responsible for the accounts for the Nixon Group of companies. She works closely in this endeavour with Dave O’Brien, our Financial Controller/Consultant with more than 35 years experience in banking and finance. Julie Phillips is in charge of Accounts, Kathy Eglington Reception and Sales and Leanne Pearce Purchasing and Stores.

Gary Davis is our very experienced Project Manager who has been with the company for more than 27 years, and is responsible for project development. He is ably assisted in this by Neil Sutherland (Sully) who joined the company in 1999.

The Service Department is headed by Ron Stebbings, who recently moved from Western Australia to join our team. Ron has more than 40 years experience in the industry and will be happy to assist clients with solutions to all their communication needs.
