For the past seven years Mr Stewart has been the General Manager of Assist Australia Pty Ltd, the commercial arm of the Australian Auto Clubs in the Automotive sector.

Previously he has also headed up the Dunlop Olympic Tyre operation in Australia including its Motor Sport Division for a number of years.

A scientist by original training and having worked as an engineer, Mr Stewart has over thirty years experience in financial management, brand development, marketing, sales and the delivery of both products and consumer services.

Commenting on his appointment Mr Stewart said, "Architects have an increasingly important role to play in the future of the planet and their role is grossly under-rated and under utilised in Australia.

"Issues such as increasing housing density, sustainability, energy conservation, infrastructure spending, affordable housing, and climate change will impact greatly on the community and will dramatically increase the need for the design skills of architects. Archicentre is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in these areas and I am excited to be leading the company on its strategic growth path."
