There’s a very good chance one of the most accomplished movie stars of the 20th century, swept a generation of fans off their feet, including Tarquinn Goodwin’s grandmother.

It was her suggestion he grow up sharing the same name as legendary actor, Lawrence Olivier’s son.

“My grandmother always wanted a son called Tarquinn. My mother blames the pain killer medication she was on after giving birth, but she agreed to it. She wanted to originally call me Bo, but I’m happy with my name, I think fits me,” the 35-year-old told Dubbo Photo News.

Appointed as a training manager in December of last year, Tarquinn has held a variety of positions with Fletchers, starting out as a labourer and most recently working in I.T.

“I have worked in software development, in logistics, I’ve been a cotton wheat supervisor, a fellmongery supervisor, a training officer, leading hand and when I started here at 18, on February 22, 2006, my job was labourer.

Tarquinn did a traineeship in his first year and left to try his hand at animation, but eventually returned and has stayed ever since.

“I didn’t finish my animation course but at the end of a busy day I can do something creative to unwind, like working on animation, it’s a great outlet. I’ve invested a lot in animation software which working at Fletchers as allowed me to afford,” he said.

In his training manager role, he’s responsible for the training officers who oversee staff in the production areas.

“At the moment I just make sure our training officers are doing the required training. I also make sure their data is valid and upload it to State Training Services NSW because we’re a Registered Training Organisation.”

For a short while, Tarquinn also spent time working at the Fletcher Grain & Intermodal Freight Terminal

“I really enjoyed working over at the grain office. It was a small office and there was a very friendly vibe. I was challenged there and was given the room to grow so that was a good experience.

Originally from Melbourne, Tarquinn moved to Dubbo after finishing his school in Sydney. While city and country life have big lifestyle differences, he says Fletcher International Exports is the reason he’s still here.

“It’s not an easy job but I get to be productive, and I can see the results from being productive. Even when I was a labourer, we were producing product with our hands.

“I’ve been very lucky. It’s because of the support that I’ve got, that’s why I’m still here because I feel appreciated and valued.”
