Month: May 2018

Imagine the fulfillment you’d attain from a 7-day 4WD challenge through to Australia’s red centre.

Now add the fact that the trek is hosted by Variety Children’s Charity and your fundraising has contributed to raising over $80,000 towards WA children.

This is the exact sentiment felt by Kalgoorlie’s Brett and Kristy of Dynamic Maintenance Solutions as they embarked on the start of an adventure of a lifetime on Saturday May 26^th.

Before they set off for their first stop, Laverton, we spoke to Kristy to find out more on what the plan of attack was for the next week on the road.

Usually our conversations are centred around hydraulic cylinder repairs and major servicing and repairs to mining and earth moving equipment (you can find out more about that on the DMS Directory Listing), but this time it was all about the couple’s purpose for participating.

Kristy enlightened us on a story about a WA child who last year had a custom-made bike created for her with the funds raised from trips like the 4WD Challenge, at a cost of $20,000.

Kristy and Brett felt strongly that all children deserve the right to experience riding a bike as well as other simple activities that take place in your childhood.

The 4WD Challenge also allows you to see where the money that you’ve raised goes to, with a focus on practical equipment and experiences.

Kristy and Brett registered and immediately commenced fundraising.

Now as they embark on the trip, the couple have raised a total of $6,500 for variety, which they’ve said is due to the huge amount of support given by local business owners as well as friends and family.

The trip overall will allow them to visit a range of remote communities on the way to their destination, Uluru which is a first for the 4WD Challenge.

Kristy’s confession that a fine system will be implemented along the way for different actions on the trip, contributing to Variety’s grand total which currently sits at $87,222.

We look forward to catching up with Kristy and Brett upon their return.

What do you get if you combine over 900 skilled employees, nation wide labour hire, and 13 years in the mining and civil game?

The answer is Mader Group, a leading contracting company, renowned for providing first class tradespeople to the Australian mining and civil industry.

Expanding at such rapid rate, the company has more recently launched in New South Wales catering to the company’s existing clients BGC, Thiess and Yancoal as well as expanding to new clients and servicing contracts in Gunnedah Basin and the Hunter region.

In 2016-17, mining injected 10.4 Billion into the New South Wales economy according to NSWMining.

With recent movement throughout the country in the mining sector, Mader NSW can be seen as the answer to closing the gap between the rate of rapid production growth and staffing issues in 2018.

What’s more is Mader’s commitment to each state in providing opportunities for the local work force by recruiting New South Wales based employees, adding to the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility.

As it stands, the New South Wales chapter currently sits as 100% NSW based employees and is expanding alongside it’s fellow states of QLD, WA, SA, NT.

Mader’s services range from providing experienced OEM trained field service mechanics, short term or long-term labour hire needs, specialist roles in planning, supervision and project management, and tailored end to end maintenance support.

Now is the ideal time to be heading into the mining game as a trades person gauging by a recent report issued by Seek Employment Trends, which stated that the mining, resources and energy sector has experienced a 35% growth in job opportunity within the space of March 2017-18.

Servicing both surface and underground mining environments Mader states that all decisions as a business have been centred around the company’s commitment to building on their reputation on providing quality work in a professional and timely manner which they say has been achievable by recruiting and retaining the best workforce possible.

A continual search is on for fully qualified heavy mobile plant mechanics with experience on heavy OEM equipment.

Mader NSW recently joined the Worthy Parts National Services Directory to advertise to both it’s new clients as well as promote opportunity of employment throughout the state.

So, what do you get when you combine the recent addition of Mader Group to NSW, the growth of the NSW region listings on the Worthy Parts National Services Directory, and the stats of the NSW Mining Economy?
