Matt Beard

After leaving school in Chinchilla at the end of 2000, Matt started with Wesfarmers Landmark in Roma as a trainee livestock saleperson/auctioneer in 2001, then transfered to Injune, Katherine, Longreach, Clermont before arriving at Emerald.

He was gifted the opportunity to work with Terry Ray after Chaffey Backhouse's retirement in mid 2007. Matt is a Level 1 Auctions Plus assesor and enjoys conducting weekly auction sales at Emerald Saleyards.

With his wife Kirsty and three kids, they love the Central Highlands and couldn't imagine living & working anywhere else.
