DIRECTOR Derek Baxter
Derek is one of the founding directors of TAA with more than 25 years’ experience in the telecommunication industry.
His entry into the telecommunications industry began when he was awarded the Foxtel installation contract with Skilled Engineering. This led to subsequent contracts with copper fibre installation and cable modem installations.
On the back of this experience, Derek was able to make the move to data cabling installations as the need for data in everyday life for commercial, business and personal use came into high demand.
The success of TAA is largely due to the solid personal relationships that Derek has built up over the years based on trust and mutual integrity.
