We are proud to be an integral part of the Hunter Valley, Singleton and Gunnedah communities. Our commitment goes beyond simply engineering; we actively participate in local initiatives to support and uplift every facet of our community. Whether it’s through donations, sponsorships, volunteering, or partnering with local organisations, we believe in giving back and making a positive impact. We are dedicated to nurturing a strong, vibrant community.
We demonstrate our contribution to the Hunter region in many ways – buying from other local businesses, supporting local sporting teams through sponsorships, charity support and investing in our people.
This starts with our employees – who are members of the Hunter community. We offer employee wellbeing initiatives, mental health training, educational support and training programs. This underpins the work we have done developing a culture of active learning which improves productivity, staff engagement and boosts the skills and knowledge of workers in our region. After all, happier workers are happier partners, parents, and citizens.
Invest in local talent
Investing in local talent and suppliers is key to our efforts, making us a cornerstone of the community. We’re committed to upskilling and empowering Australian engineers, technicians, and manufacturing experts, creating a skilled workforce that drives growth and innovation.
Hire local workers
For 50 years, we have employed local talent and attracted highly skilled tradespeople into our community. We have an employee referral program, encouraging employees to connect us with other local talent. This commitment to hiring local is one of the pillars of our business.
Support local suppliers
We demonstrate our strong commitment to supporting local businesses by sourcing goods and services locally – regardless of whether it comes at a premium cost. Our vehicle fleet, welding and workplace consumables, workshop tooling, staff uniforms, office supplies are all sourced from local businesses.
Contribute to local causes
We regularly support the Hunter community through charitable initiatives and fundraising efforts. When Sunnyfield Disability Service experienced a break-in, we stepped in to help replace stolen tools. We also contributed to funding a therapy dog for a local child and support causes like prostate cancer research, mental health initiatives, and homelessness services.
