LIAM KIRKWOOD
A well-earned next step for someone many in our network have been watching closely.
Liam Kirkwood has been appointed National Livestock Manager at Ray White Rural — a reflection of both his track record and the way he approaches his work.
Starting at 23 under Kevin Currie in North Queensland, Liam quickly built a reputation for consistency and drive. From winning the Queensland Young Auctioneers Competition in 2019 to taking out the National title in 2021, his progression has been steady and considered.
That same year, he became one of the youngest principals in our network, leading the Townsville Rural and Livestock business before forming Geaney Kirkwood through a strategic partnership with Geaneys in Charters Towers. In 2025, the business achieved the highest-priced rural property sale at auction across our network.
Since joining our corporate team, Liam has brought a strong focus on member value, industry insight, and genuine support for those around him.
As Matt White shared, “He doesn’t just grow a business, he elevates everyone around him.”
This is a proud moment for our network — and a great example of what’s possible with the right support and direction.
