Nathan Chapman (Operations)

Nathan is a true gentleman - a man of pleasantries and niceties (at least that’s the consensus on his polished phone manner) and will always do his best to accommodate the needs and wishes of others. He is quite the particular type; always busy being busy as he ploughs through his work autonomously and with a healthy sense of pride, attention to detail and of course, due diligence.

Nathan’s roles and responsibilities at Katapult include: supporting the Directors and Account Management Team; organising and facilitating much of the daily production, logistical and operational requirements as well as a large chunk of the daily accounting and book-keeping requirements.  

Prior to joining Katapult, Nathan had several years experience within the Promotional Products Industry as a Production Coordinator and over three years experience as a Warehouse Manager in the Retail Clothing Industry.
