Jonny’s career has been shaped by hands-on work across construction and mining. He started out at 21 as a site supervisor in his family’s construction business, running multiple jobs across the UK and Ireland. Working on tough sites and large projects early on taught him the value of hard work, problem-solving under pressure, and getting the job done properly when conditions aren’t easy.
Before moving into mining, Jonny also spent time in the financial industry as a supply chain consultant, working on large-scale projects. While it was a very different environment, it gave him a strong understanding of how workflows from planning through to delivery, how delays and poor decisions affect the job, and why attention to detail matters. That experience sharpened his commercial mindset and taught him how to operate confidently with stakeholders at every level, without losing touch with what actually makes work happen on the ground.

Jonny left that world behind and broke into the mining industry the hard way, starting as a Trade Assistant and getting stuck into the work to earn his place on site. He then moved into drilling as a Driller’s Offsider after securing work through LH Partners, becoming LH Partners’ first-ever contractor placed on site as a business. From day one, he embraced the long hours, physical work, and strong safety culture that drilling demands. Through consistent effort and a focus on learning, Jonny completed his Certificate II and was preparing to start his Cert III within nine months. When the opportunity came up to join LH Partners, he saw it as a chance to give back, helping others break into the industry, back themselves, and chase the same opportunities he was given.

Outside of work, Jonny doesn’t slow down much. He trains for marathons, ultramarathons and HYROX events, and has a strong drive to see the world and experience as much as possible, because you only get one crack at the whip.
