Drew Mansur from TileCloud | Checkout #351

Drew Mansur is the co-founder and head of growth at TileCloud – Australia’s leading online tile store. He graduated from the university of UNSW with a degree in construction management and entered into the construction industry. From there, he co-founded a commercial tiling business which ultimately led to the start of TileCloud.
Drew is a serial renovator and through some frustrating experiences of his own, he felt there had to be a better way for renovators to find the right tiles and get them on site. It was this practical understanding of the needs of the renovator coupled with his prior construction management background that led to the formation of an ecommerce based solution for buying tiles. (in spite of everyone’s insistence that ‘you have to touch and feel the tiles before you buy them’) When not helping to grow the business, Drew can be found trying to wrangle his three young daughters and working on his golf swing.

In this episode of Add To Cart, we checkout Drew Mansur. Drew is the Co founder of TileCloud, an online D2C store transforming the often confusing and overwhelming tile buying process. With over 300,000 Instagram followers and partners such as Three Birds Renovations, TileCloud provides inspiration and the goods to elevate your reno with minimum fuss. Drew struck me as down to earth and perceptive – the kind of guy you want on speed dial when dealing with a dodgy builder.

Can you recommend a book or a podcast that our listeners should immediately get into?

I’m going to recommend the first business book that I read where I thought, this is impactful on a day to day and it’s How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

The thing that tripped me out was that it was written ages ago, but that all of the teachings are so relevant and continue to be. It’s about managing relationships with people in business and personal life to an extent.
