Harvey Keates

Sales & Marketing Director

Get to know Harvey

What’s your role like here at CORE?

My focus is all about growth—both for the business and the team. I wear many hats, from leading our internal and external sales teams to developing new strategies for breaking into untapped markets. I’m passionate about ensuring my team has the tools, knowledge, and support they need to smash targets and exceed expectations. It’s all about creating opportunities, driving innovation, and positioning CORE for long-term success.

When did you join the company?

I officially stepped into the business in 2014, but my involvement started long before that. As a young boy, I was always in and out of the office (my dads shed!) eager to learn the trade and fuel my passion for sales… CORE has been in my blood from the start!

What do you get up to outside of work?

When I’m not focused on growing the business, I’m busy being ‘Super Dad’. Spending time with my family is what keeps me grounded and fuels my drive to build something incredible—not just for me, but for them.

What do you like best about your role?

The best part of my role is the variety and energy it brings. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities to innovate, grow, and empower my team. Seeing CORE expand, smashing targets, and building a reputation as a leader in the industry is incredibly rewarding. It’s not just about hitting goals—it’s about creating something lasting, something we can all be proud of.
