He founded Wilkinson Steel in 1988 and was a leader in the reinforcing steel industry. He had a knack for numbers. Building Contractors were wowed by his ability to estimate jobs in his head when they needed figures quickly and knew that they could rely on his figures as his company was built on integrity and providing service.

One of his favorite lines was when an employee asked if they could leave early, he could be heard saying with a grin "you can leave anytime you want, the question is whether you can come back!"
