Culture Overview
Caring for and positive relationships are key in the daily being of our Company. Caring for each other in the workplace, caring for our customers, suppliers and community, are the fruit of a deep respect for others. Our relationships are driven by respect and mutual success.
Our workplace is situated, outside the beautiful town of Killarney, on a farm which provides a quiet and peaceful environment to work in. This influences the attitudes and behaviour of our staff. The setting allows us to take a short walks and lunch in the beautiful area with our office dog.
The open door policy with no forced hierarchy allows open communication and freedom to share information freely. This also leads to mutual understanding and respect between employees and management.
Our commitment to service delivery can be seen in the quality staff we employ, the continuous upgrading and improvement of our fleet of vehicles and the investment in our workshop facilities and equipment.
We care, take care and provide.
