Adam has been a very supportive Director with my own family business and having two children of my own. Adam has been supportive of my work life balance with the flexibility in working hours that I have needed.
This flexibility comes with the team ensuring everyone is working respectfully with each other’s availability and still ensuring we are meeting the KPI’s of the business, especially when working in demanding roles. I believe this has created a more positive and happy work environment.

It’s such a supportive environment, everyone is always there for you.

There’s always something different and new, no two clients are the same. I can go to Fred with anything and there’s never judgment, it’s such a great learning environment.

“A comfortable environment and people you can have a nice laugh with. I also enjoy the interesting challenges I get faced with like unusual tyres. I love working with the Cookes.”

“It’s a chill and accepting working environment. I love that the South Coast is quiet and a good place for a family.”

I like working with the guys and being outdoors. Every day is different and I enjoy the adrenaline rush of the work we do.

The boys are very flexible, and Lisa the Office Manager has taught me so much. We support each other, which means when you do take time off, there isn’t a big pile of work to come back to.
We are here to nurture you and your career, to take the unknown out of building a career in a regional town and to connect you with the local business community in ways which will grow your personal brand and position you for a fulfilling career in Regional Australia.
