Chief Executive Officer Matthew Hallé reflects on the lessons that have guided the business from its earliest days.

The value of genuine connection with the industry is priceless.

Earlier in his career, time spent speaking directly with clients, contractors and candidates was sometimes limited. Starting Applica changed that entirely. Rebuilding a strong network became one of the most rewarding elements of his role. These conversations provide insight into project movements, help gauge market conditions and contribute to realistic commercial planning.

“I learn so much from conversations with people at all levels of the industry. These calls often end up being the most rewarding part of my week. They keep me connected to the pulse of the market and to the people we represent.” Matt Halle – CEO

This connection is something he plans to maintain no matter how large Applica becomes. The relationships built through consistent networking remain invaluable to both the business and the industry.
