About Gary………

Gary has lived in Mackay since the early 1970s. After completing his secondary education at Mackay State High School, he continued his studies at the original Kangaroo Point TAFE College. In 1992, Gary co-founded BB Print alongside Roy Brunke, starting with a modest shopfront and a single-color press. Today, BB Print has grown into Central Queensland’s leading printing and associated services provider, employing over 22 full-time local staff.

As both a local and a business leader, Gary remains deeply committed to Mackay’s community. His company proudly sponsors Stadium Mackay, providing vital financial support while championing the ethos of “locals supporting locals.” Beyond sponsorship, BB Print invests in the future of the printing industry by training apprentices—typically at least two at any given time—in printing, binding, or graphic design. The company also actively promotes inclusive employment, partnering with organizations like Ideal Placements and Community Solutions to create opportunities for people of all abilities.
