We have well-established safety systems in place, and we pride ourselves on our incident-free safety record. We prioritise our own safety, and the safety of the people around us.
Our vision is to not only create a profitable business, but to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and non-Indigenous people to find meaningful employment in a supportive environment.
We introduce people to the trades who may never have considered it as a career option. This has a positive ripple effect throughout local families and communities.
We also have great staff retention… one of our tradesmen started with us as an apprentice. Our current apprentice started with us as a trainee.
