Tom Hynd

Thomas Simpson Hynd (6 July 1930 – 20 October 2011) was an Australian businessman and politician.

He was a National Party member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1986 to 1989, representing the electorate of Nerang.

He trained as a master builder, and later opened TS Hynd Pty Ltd, a business specialising in electronic doors.

He was a prominent business figure on the Gold Coast, and Alex Douglas claimed that "he installed probably half of the roller doors on houses that were built".

[1][2] In retirement, he was actively involved in the Rotary Club, and made wooden toys and sold them at markets in order to raise money for charity.
