Raymond McMenemy

Ray moved to Wollongong in 1996 from South Australia and began working with SPAO in 1997 as a 20-year-old. Now, at 47 years old, SPAO remains his first and only job as a technician. He was promoted to workshop manager in 2010.

Over the years, he has watched the company grow from 6 employees to over 40. He enjoys all aspects of his job, including manufacturing both orthotics and prosthetics in-house, and managing the day-to-day duties as workshop manager.

He has had the opportunity to travel to Europe to visit other facilities and workshops, which greatly influenced the design and opening of their new 1200 sqm state-of-the-art facility in Wollongong. The facility boasts stunning views of the ocean to the east and the escarpment to the west.

In his downtime, he enjoys playing golf, eating good food, and spending time with his wife and their Pug.
