‘Never looked back’: Lindsay Partridge on retirement after 25 years with Brickworks

Lindsay Partridge has reflected on his time as Brickworks CEO after announcing his plans to retire. Mr Partridge has been the chief executive of Australia's biggest brickmaker for 25 years. The board acknowledged him by saying when he started the company had an asset base of $500 million, now it has $6 billion. Mark Ellenor, Brickworks Chief Operating Officer, will become the new CEO after Mr Patridge retires on July 31. “When I started in 1985 I was factory manager and we had a factory that was the worst performing factory you had ever seen,” Mr Patridge told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “It was the dirtiest place you had ever seen and my job was to turn it around … and turned it into a really magnificent plant and from there I never looked back.”
