Description

“What does it take to scale one of the most trusted brands in Australia without losing its soul?”


Today’s guest is Michael Schneider, Managing Director of Bunnings since 2016 and a 20-year veteran of the business.


Bunnings is more than a retailer. It’s a cultural institution. With more than 380 stores, $18b in revenue and  55,000 team members, it’s hard to imagine a time when Bunnings wasn’t the default answer to every home improvement question.


But behind that dominance is a story of quiet leadership, discipline, and culture at scale.


In this episode, we dig into how Bunnings earned and maintained this dominance – from Every Day Low Prices and delivering brand promises at scale,  to the cultural consistency that is stitched into the fabric of the business, this is a story of of what it really means to scale up — not just fast, but for good.
