MEET THE TEAM
MEET THE TIC TEAM:
Wayne Shillito
Chairman & Founder
Wayne Shillito is the founder and driving force behind TIC Group. Starting out as a painter and decorator, Wayne built the business from the ground up with little more than a strong work ethic, a hands-on approach, and a vision for something bigger. Over the years, he transformed what began as a small operation into a major player in the property sector. Under his leadership, TIC Group has grown to own and manage an impressive portfolio of 172 residential properties and 97 commercial units, alongside a steady stream of in-house developments.
Wayne has recently stepped into a more strategic executive role, now sitting as Chairman, taking a step back from the day-to-day running of the business, which is now led by his two sons, Tom and Max. While no longer involved in daily operations, he continues to provide oversight, guidance, and plays a key part in all fundamental decisions shaping the company’s direction.
His depth of experience, industry knowledge, and personal investment in the company’s success have helped build TIC Group’s reputation for reliability, quality, and growth. Despite the company’s expansion, Wayne has stayed true to the core values he founded the business on: hard work, integrity, and a long-term commitment to the communities TIC Group serves.
