Samantha joined Linde Material Handling 25 years ago, starting her career in the Finance department in a leasing role. Over the years, she’s embraced numerous roles in various departments, demonstrating her versatility.
After moving into a customer service role within the Marketing department, Samantha's dedication and hard work led her to become the Linde Marketing Supervisor. She expertly leads Linde's events, manages all promotional merchandise, and project manages the team’s EDM campaigns, used truck marketing, database inquiries and everything in between. In her role, no two days are the same.
For Sam, it’s the people she enjoys most about working at Linde. “I have made some lifelong friends over the years. Spending all day with people, you get to know them quite well, so it’s great to have a joke or laugh at times, but also reassuring to know you can rely on them on a more serious business level when needed.”
Her favourite memory at Linde? “A llama from the petting zoo escaping at the kids’ Christmas party one year.”
Shannon Bell joined the Linde team in 2018 as an Account Development Manager with the Linde Retail Sales Team. Through great drive and hard work, he quickly advanced to Key Account Development Manager before securing his current role as Operations Manager.
“As Operations Manager, I oversee service income, margins, and costs to exceed budget targets. Leading a dedicated team of service technicians and admin staff, I focus on their development to maintain efficient operations. Handling all operational aspects and inquiries within WA, I foster strong client and supplier relationships. Working closely with the WA Sales team, our goal is to deliver exceptional customer service.”
In his role, Shannon enjoys the opportunity to develop a more comprehensive and strategic perspective of the organisation while also supporting the growth of Linde’s aftersales business performance and team members.
The best piece of advice Shannon’s received while working at Linde? “Capturing accurate specification details during a customer site survey is crucial. This requires more than just a measuring tape or laser; listening carefully and asking the right questions is equally important in being able to propose the ideal solution.”

“Always ensure you understand the client’s needs and tailor a solution that provides the best value for the customer.” – Matthew Anthony
Matthew has been with Linde since 2022 and says it's the people at Linde working together as a team that makes his role so satisfying.
“I am the Newcastle Region Territory Manager. My role involves assessing client needs by conducting site surveys and working with our clients to provide a solution.”
In his role, Matthew serves as the primary point of contact for new prospective clients and is dedicated to providing customised solutions that address their unique business demands.
His favourite memory at Linde? “Delivering my first forklift and seeing firsthand how happy the customer was.”

Daniel Zamora has been with Linde since 2019 and says that representing a product that delivers what it promises is why he enjoys working at Linde.
“What I like most about working at Linde is being myself and managing my own days. I also work with a fantastic group of people which makes coming to work enjoyable.”
In his role, Daniel is responsible for managing the accounts and demand for pre-owned equipment across Victoria while also leading the Linde pre-owned department. “Working with high-quality pre-owned products from Linde is a testament to Linde’s excellent craftsmanship and their meticulous reconditioning servicing.”
What is the best piece of advice Daniel has received while working at Linde? “Never assume the next application is just like the previous. Each application will present its own challenges.”

“Work to Learn Rather Than to Earn. Working to learn is much more enjoyable, and it often leads to a higher level of financial achievement eventually.” – Kshama Upadhyaya
Kshama joined the Linde team in 2014 as an Accounts Assistant and has never looked back. Coming up to a decade with the team, Kshama has held various roles in the Finance team, including Accountant, Accountant Supervisor, and most recently, Accountant Manager, where she oversees the company’s tax compliance, reporting, auditing, KICS, and accounts payable and accounting team.
Kshama enjoys working on all things finance, but her favourite part of the job is liaising with internal and external parties for tax, auditing and reporting. “I enjoy collaborating with various stakeholders to achieve common goals, increase efficiency, share resources, and improve project outcomes.”
“The Linde team has always provided outstanding assistance, and created an excellent environment.” She appreciates the sense of belonging she feels at Linde, and the way they invest in employee development. “Recently, I was given the opportunity to be a part of the finance talent pool, which has allowed me to build a cross-functional network across various entities within the KION Group.”
Erick first joined the team in 2018 as a Yard Coordinator, bringing his valuable experience from the transport industry to his initial role before transitioning to a trade assistant role. “I really enjoyed the challenges of working on the units, especially after spending a couple of years familiarising myself with all the types and models of forklifts that Linde offers.” Immersing himself in the technical aspects, he soon became a Linde Level 2 Technician.
Since then, Erick has steadily climbed the ladder, embracing a new challenge through a secondment as the Pre-delivery Team Leader for Victoria. As part of his role, he oversees the preparation of new units to meet customer specifications and guides and assists workshop technicians in fulfilling their duties.
For Erick, one of the most rewarding aspects of his role at Linde is gaining a broader perspective and a deeper understanding of the industry. “I like that I’m broadening my knowledge of our products and this industry.”
“Most of all, I like the people – getting to know them, sharing my knowledge, and learning from them in return.”
The best advice Erick has gotten on the job? “Make decisions confidently and back yourself.”

Joining Linde in 2021, Bree has established herself as a pivotal part of the Linde team in the Sales Order Processing Specialist role. Her expertise in organising the logistics and shipping of new and incoming trucks from our overseas factories to locations across Australia and NZ is invaluable.
Starting her journey with Linde without prior experience in the material handling industry, her initial orientation remains a fond memory. She vividly remembers being shown around on her first day, impressed by the array of equipment and the colloquial reference to forklifts as "trucks", a term that quickly became part of her own vocabulary.
Bree appreciates the supportive environment at Linde, which is evident not only in her direct role but also company-wide. Whether collaborating with colleagues she works with daily or connecting with those interstate or overseas, she finds that everyone is supportive and helpful.
Anthony joined the team nearly a decade ago as a Field Service Technician and has since evolved in his career to where he is now - the Technical Trainer and Product Support in NSW.
Anthony enjoys the challenge of acquiring new skills and consistently growing within his role. Boasting 10 years of dedicated service, Anthony has demonstrated versatility and commitment, and navigated through multiple roles including Field Service Technician, Aftersales Manager, and Sales Territory Manager, before taking on his current training role.
And even after all this time, Anthony says: “My favourite memory is my first day at Linde being welcomed by all the staff.”
In his role, Anthony particularly values the camaraderie within the office, and cherishes the privilege of collaborating with Linde’s diverse teams nationwide.

Aleisha started with Linde in 2008 as a short-term rental coordinator. After a decade in the role, she moved into a sales coordinator position for a year before a well-earned promotion to QLD State Commercial Supervisor.
As many on the team have shared, it's the people Aleisha gets to work with that makes her role so enjoyable.
“Everyone is passionate about what they do while managing a few laughs along the way.”
And as she tells it, her long tenure with Linde isn’t unusual.
“I have been fortunate enough to have worked with many of the same people from the day I started, which is a testament to Linde to have so many long serving employees.”

South Australia’s Sheree has certainly seen a lot of growth during her 13 year career with Linde.
“I started in 2010 as a Sales Coordinator in SA. Back then SA was quite a small team. I was handling sales, short-term rental, and transport coordinator duties.”
Sheree returned part-time from maternity leave in 2014 and continued in a role with a continued focus on sales and transport coordination. In the following years as Linde evolved and the SA sales team expanded it became clear more commercial support was needed – and Sheree was the ideal person for the job.
“I was promoted to the position of Commercial Team Leader – SA and in this role, I enjoy mentoring staff and assisting them with their professional development. I also like to look at areas that can be improved upon within the commercial team and enjoy implementing new processes within the branch to ensure all policies are being followed as well as to streamline the workload as best as possible.”
But it’s more than just the satisfying work that’s kept Sheree at Linde all this time.
“I wouldn’t be such a long-serving employee if it wasn’t for the people I work with, I have a great deal of respect for my fellow colleagues, as well as the management team. I genuinely enjoy coming to the office and interacting with everyone. The SA branch is like a family to me.”
Jordan has been with Linde since 2021 and says it’s the people he gets to interact with that makes his role so satisfying.
“I genuinely enjoy coming to work every day, as each day presents unique and engaging challenges. As a relationship-driven individual, building connections with customers is especially important to me. Over the years, I have had the privilege of cultivating long standing relationships with both internal colleagues and external customers, which has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.”
As a Victorian Key Account Manager at Linde, he serves as the primary point of contact for a diverse range of existing customers, as well as working closely with potential new clients to provide customised solutions that meet their unique material handling needs.
And with that personal connection, Jordan is able to help his customers to successfully grow their companies.
“My fondest memories are with small business owners who have built something from nothing and are taking the next big step in their business journey.”
Mateusz Junger joined Linde as a Business Development Executive in early 2022 and describes his first year “rewarding and satisfying.”
“I really love the autonomy and independence that the role comes with as it allows me to set my own goals and develop plans to achieve them. I also find it very rewarding and satisfying knowing that I contribute to the growth and success of the company through the fruits of my labour.”
In his role, Mateusz is responsible for identifying, developing, and managing new business opportunities for Linde and in his short time he's already proving his natural aptitude to the role.
“Linde MH is a great company to work for, the leadership is well organised and have created a really good corporate culture. I feel like I’m part of a team and not just a worker.”
Tim began his career with Linde in 2015 as a Territory Manager and after 12 months he got an opportunity within the pre-owned team as a Used Truck Specialist. This role allowed him to do what he loves, helping customers.
“I enjoy discovering the customer’s needs, and providing them with the right solution to suit those needs within their budget. Linde is a premium product and brand, so providing pre-owned Linde equipment means more businesses can afford that quality that gives them comfort, safety, ergonomics and longevity.”
Tim has recently taken the next step in his career with Linde, starting his role as the NSW Sales Supervisor where he will be able to support more of the Linde team in helping find the right solutions for our customers.
From servicing trucks to selling them, and now looking after the full Australian product portfolio, Troy’s journey at Linde has been full of twists and turns, but one he says has been so fulfilling.
Starting out as a service technician Troy found himself, after a few years, looking for a change. That change came in the form of a role as a National Equipment Coordinator, followed by a transition to a Service Area Manager, a role he had his eye on for some time.
In the years that followed Troy continued his career growth starting in the National Rental Manager role before becoming the NSW Key Account Manager.
“What I love about working for Linde is the culture. Everyone is willing to help you out, no matter what. Moving from the field to the office, I had to navigate the basics of working on a computer all day, and the support I received to upskill on this was amazing.”
Recently Troy has taken the next step in his career, starting in the Product Manager position. This is a role that puts his 10+ years of experience with Linde to use managing and maintaining the entire Australia product portfolio.
Variety is the spice of life for James since starting as a Business Support Officer with Linde.
“I like that my role gives me a variety of different areas of the business as well as people to work with, so every day I am working with or on something new,” he says.
James joined Linde in late 2022 as a Business Support Officer in the Business Improvement Team and since coming on board, he's been working to help further Linde's growth and reach.
“Joining in a period of growth has meant that, particularly in my role and team, there is a lot of interesting work needing to be done.” he said.
Another part of James' role that he finds fulfilling is working with people across the business and branches to focus on growth opportunities.
“Collaborating with all the different attendees to learn more about their contribution to the business and understand where we can make potential improvements is very interesting.”
When Alan joined the Linde team more than a year ago, he was new to the industry. But it didn’t take long for him to be bitten by the material handling bug.
“I started with Linde Material Handling as a Territory Manager selling new trucks within the Northern/North-East regions of Melbourne,” he said, adding he continues to look after the northern regions of Melbourne while leading the VIC retail team in his role as Sales Supervisor. “I absolutely love everything about my role, especially the people I work alongside daily and the amazing range of trucks we sell.”
For Alan, working at Linde has been a gratifying experience – right from his very first sale of two new reach trucks to a – now loyal – Linde customer.
“The fast pace of working in retail is challenging and rewarding. As someone who came into the material handling industry with zero material handling experience, I feel extremely lucky and privileged to be working at Linde.”
