ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Bradley Wilson is the Managing Director of the AOK Health Group, established in 1994.  The AOK Group is comprised of 3 companies which specialise in the design, manufacture and distribution of health and rehabilitation products, education and services worldwide.

AOK now employs 12 full-time and 7 part-time staff and expects to increase this by 20% by early 2005, injecting over $4M into the local economy.  In other words Bradley brings business to Newcastle.

By concentrating on developing innovative and the highest quality products AOK has achieved recognition as a leader in its field throughout the world.  The company currently exports to over 18 different countries around the world covering every continent.

Bradley has a Sports Science degree and a strong business background in the Hunter, originally returning in 1988 from overseas to work as a Manager with Carrington Slipways in developing the shipyard facilities for the Anzac Frigate and Aurora Australis projects, and later with Varleys as Project Manager for its Army Workshop prototypes.  Both roles involved extensive R&D utilizing the University of Newcastle, a resource he later used to develop Duralon™, the groundbreaking PVC substrate used in many of AOK’s manufactured products.
Bradley has not just fostered good products but also good business, winning the award of 2003 Fastest Growing Hunter Wholesaler and in 2004 Trainer of the Year in Logistics.  By promoting “Best Practice” in business and encouraging staff development through traineeship programs AOK will maintain its competive advantage.
