Striving for other experiences Luke left Albury Stainless Steel and gained a role on the Hume Freeway project working on the installation of the street lighting and related ancillaries.

This was a means to an end....... that being the ensuing trip of a lifetime.

Gaining a two-year working visa for England, he then headed overseas, the year 2009 with his now-wife Kate Suters. Much Enjoying the unique life experiences and diversity of cultures.

Whilst living in London Luke was given the opportunity to work with other Stainless Steel companies, where they did specialised items for High Fashion Stores in Oxford Street, mansions and well-known locations throughout the London area, perfecting his skills and experience in the fabrication and design of Stainless Steel.

Following Luke’s time in London, returning to Australia Luke continued his love for the industry and in particular the design side. Luke started his own business Elite Stainless Steel Pty Ltd, his business was going very well, doing a lot of sub-contracting work for a number of local businesses’ – A large amount of time was spent at Uncle Toby’s in Wahgunyah - gaining skills and experience in pressure pipe welding, factory maintenance (food industry) as well as many new projects and developments on site.

After Matt and Luke left Albury Stainless Steel, they worked together as sub-contractors at many locations in the surrounding areas such as Uncle Toby’s, Thales and Danone.
