Our Team

Sarah Wood – Director and Project Manager

My main focus is to make sure that every client gets the best possible service from start to finish.

Founding “The Middlewoman” as a sole trader in 2002, I aimed to provide a service to those who were busy or didn’t know where to get reliable services to maintain their homes. This decision came as I felt experienced enough to take on the challenge after my experience as a Manager and Educator in the Medical world, along with gaining qualifications in Sociology, Art Photography and Professional Photography.

Working hard over 16 years being a fully licensed building company, developing contacts and understanding what people want and look for, now sees me as director of The Middlewoman. My two wonderful son’s, 21 and 23, now call me ‘Middlewoman’ if I don’t respond to Mum!

You can contact me via email at sarah@themiddlewoman.com.au
