The A1 Group Training story started 40 years ago with the founder and Director, Danny McCartin starting his trade based career as a Carpenter and Joiner in the building and construction industry. With a passion for all things ‘machinery’, Danny wasn’t satisfied with sitting still and grew his skills through the completion of four (4) trade qualifications in Carpentry, Motor Mechanics, Welding and Fitting and Turning.
Those additional skills and experience allowed him to build an impressive skillset as a business owner and tradesman across the Construction, Earth Moving, Heavy Machinery and Freight Transport industries in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
