Having grown up in the La Perouse area in Sydney, around family members who were involved in the construction industry, Troy developed a passion for building, which led to the creation of PSG Holdings and creating opportunities for Indigenous people across a variety of industries as well as putting him in a position to support a number of community groups in his local area.

Working closely with clients, in combination with recent strengthening of Indigenous policies in procurement, Troy and his team strive to deliver economic growth for Indigenous communities, whilst still delivering significant outcomes for our clients. ⇢⇢⇢ MEET THE MOB Meet the Mob is a YouTube series dedicated to showcasing Blak Excellence in Indigenous Business.
