About Us | Who Are We

There had always been a passion to have my own business, from a young boy at primary school, age 11, I had my own lawn mowing business. I became so busy I had to pay my mates to help me, and I enjoyed the cash and the idea of being my own boss.

At the age of fifteen, I was given the option to leave high school if I could get an apprenticeship, needless to say, that was the end of my school days and tradie life begun. And it was great for a while until my boss sold up and moved away. The world was full of opportunity’s so I decided to give the automotive industry a season after all cars are a lot more fun than working on schools and houses.

Leanne grew up in a family Business, Leanne has worked in admin and Leanne currently has a Certificate IV Financial Services (Book Keeping) and is a registered BAS agent. Fast forward a few decades and Leanne I decide to start a new business selling industrial tools to mines and engineering works etc., after eight months of no cash flow coupled with being just a small fish in a very big pond unable to compete against the big guys, I had to change my business plan so I started Michael Chilcott handyman, and this business grew and it was time to move into building and renovations after completing Certificate IV Building and Construction with Master Builders and gaining my Builders’ Licence and we rebranded into Michael Chilcott Building & Renovations.
