ON SUNDAY MARCH 24TH, THE MIDDY’S STREET MACHINE WAS PRESENT AT THE ‘ALL MAKES CAR & BIKE SHOW’ PRESENTED BY THE BULN BULN FOOTBALL CLUB.

In excess of 1,500 patrons attended the day to view almost 300 cars and bikes. Even with such an impressive number of vehicles on display, the Middy’s Street Machine shone like a beacon, attracting large crowds. Middy’s Street Machine custodian, Rick Brain, was kept busy as he fielded questions throughout the day whilst giving people the chance to get a thorough view of the car. It was a great result to have six Middy’s customers bring their own vehicles to display, with other customers attending to help out. Event organisers were thrilled with the attendance level, which was an increase on the year prior and said that the amount raised for the Buln Buln Football Club far exceeded their expectations. Keep an eye out for the Middy’s Street Machine at events near you.

SALES REP OF THE YEAR AWARD

MIDDY'S INFO NIGHTS ARE FREE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE INDUSTRY, CONTRACTORS, PARTNERS, WIVES & APPRENTICES

The nights are a great way to meet industry peers in a relaxed environment and feature Supplier Trade Shows, Energy Efficient Solutions, New Technology Products, Product of the Night, Food and Drinks, Prizes and Show bags. Bookings are essential so reserve your spot online at: middys.com.au/info-nights

THE ANNUAL MIDDY’S ‘SALES REP OF THE YEAR AWARDS’ WERE HELD ON THE 20TH FEBRUARY, AT THE PICTURESQUE GLEN ERIN VINEYARD IN LANCEFIELD, FOR THE 5TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

The occasion brought together our sales representatives from across the country to collectively celebrate the team’s efforts, as well as the outstanding individual performances. Former Paralympic medallist, Don Elgin, was the special guest speaker on the night. He connected really well with the audience with his down to earth approach about how to get the most out of life.

Following this, the evening formally commenced with a presenta-tion from National Sales Manager, Mark Carrington, who spoke of the tremendous pride he felt, in what could be best described as a productive year. The Commendation recipients and award winners were then announced. Craig Pyne from Mekolec, Jason Ryan from Middy’s Ballarat and Ballarat West branches and David Bentley from Middy’s Thomastown were all recognised for their achievements for the year.

For the first time in the history of the Sales Representative of the Year Awards, Mark Carrington announced that this year there would be joint winners. First to be announced was Riverina Sales Representative, Mat Harrington, who was met with strong applause. Mat did an incredible job in his region, in particular with his contribution to the newly opened Wagga Wagga branch last year.

National TechEnergy Manager, Darren Bowler, was called up to the stage to announce the second recipient. This signalled a large hint that a winner would be a TechEnergy Rep, and right they were as Leigh Stacey was announced to another burst of applause from the room. Darren spoke so highly of Leigh and it was evident that he had tremendous appreciation for Leigh’s efforts in the year.

Both men were awarded the famous Middy’s pink jackets and each spoke of the honour they felt to be recognised amongst their peers. With official proceedings concluded, everyone was able to relax a little more and enjoy the remainder of the night.

THE 25TH MARCH SAW MEKOLEC HOLD THEIR ANNUAL GOLF DAY AT GREEN ACRES GOLF COURSE IN KEW.

In attendance were Mekolec staff, industry suppliers and 96 customers who participated in the Ambrose event where each player hits off the tee, the best shot is selected and all other players pick up their ball and place it, within one hand span, alongside the best ball.

The event commenced at 7:50am sharp and finished at 12:30pm, followed by a buffet lunch and prize announcements. A big congratulations to our winning customers, Scott Plant, Shane Tobin, Mahdi Chizari and Jake McKenzie (all from Dynamic Fire Systems). Thankfully the weather held out until the golfers made it to the club rooms. Mekolec Manager, Marc Golland, described the event as a great success and he is looking forward to 2020's Golf Day already.

Thank you to the following suppliers who supported the event, Advanced Lighting, Australian Plastic Profiles, Cabac, Clevertronics, Enersys, Evolt, Ezystrut, Firesense, Flexicon, Gerard Lighting, GV Kinsman, Konnect, Mercator, NAN Cables, NHP, Omega, Plastic Bend Fabrications and Schneider Electric.

WIRING RULES INFO EVENING AT MIDDY'S ROSEBUD

In Issue 24 of the Middy’s MAG (December – February) we provided information regarding the update of AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical installations known as the Wiring Rules. The rewrite of these standards was based on: (a) new technology, new equipment and improved installation techniques;(b) industry feedback regarding readability and compliance;(c) identification and clarification of normative (mandatory) requirements and informative guidance material throughout the document; and(d) experience gained in the application of the previous edition as expressed to Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.

With Middy’s committed to ‘Offering you more…’ some Middy’s branches held information evenings to speak about the Wiring Rules updates and to field contractor questions. The first of these sessions was held at the Rosebud branch and had 30 contractors attend from Middy’s Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud as well as a number of Middy’s staff and Regional Sales Manager, Brad Carlyle.

Our guest speakers were Keith Van der Zyden of Energy Safe Victoria and David Harvey of Hager. Keith spoke predominately about the most crucial of the Wiring Rules updates and David followed on from this highlighting some Hager product that meet these requirements. At the conclusion of the presentations, many contractors continued to discuss the topic with both Keith and David as well as one another. It appeared to be a very insightful session and ultimately a successful event.

Another two information sessions were held in May and comprised the following Middy’s branches: Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Braeside, St Kilda, Burwood Blackburn and Hawthorn.

Capitol Cinema TechEnergy Representative, Leigh Stacey, approached Capitol Cinema to see whether there was any interest in discussing solar, as TechEnergy had recently completed an installation on the Warrnambool Hotel. Talks developed and it became evident that Capitol Cinema would be ideally suited for a solar panel installation, which would substantially reduce their grid usage and ultimately decrease their power bills.

The install consisted of 208 x 270W solar panels, which will result The install consisted of 208 x 270W solar panels, which will result in energy savings of approximately $16,000 annually and an expected return on investment of 3.5 years. Another great benefit for Capitol Cinema is the significant reduction in maintenance costs and carbon emissions.

Solar is something we had discussed as something we’d like to do, but given there are many different solar suppliers and installers in the market, making a decision on an installer was a difficult one. However, ultimately having the backing of a highly regarded company such as Middy’s was the main draw card for us and we knew there would be after sales support. We needed the assurance of after sales support should something happen in the life of the system. Dealing with a local business and having local tradies complete the works was very important to us. – Callum Watson Assistant Manager Capitol Cinema

BRYCE CLAIMS HIS FIRST WIN IN THE DUNLOP SUPER2 SERIES AT THE SUPERLOOP ADELAIDE 500.

The win was a massive boon for Bryce, as it was his best race result since his maiden round podium finish at Newcastle in 2017. Racing in a Matthew White Motorsport-run Nissan Altima, Bryce’s exceptional weekend consisted of wins in Races 1 and 3 and a close second place finish in Race 2.

Bryce then continued his excellent form in the second and third rounds of the Super2 Series, extending his points and keeping him in first place overall.

After what can be best described as a challenging year in 2018, Bryce had this to say about his early 2019 form: “To grab my first race win and round win was absolutely awesome, a huge credit to the team at Matthew White Motorsport for giving me the car to do it”.

Confident in his ability and his team, Bryce is striving for the 2019 series win. The team at Middy’s will continue to support Bryce and wish him well for his upcoming races.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED THE MIDDY'S ULTIMATE DREAM RIDE PROMOTION...

We had an overwhelming response to our biggest promotion ever to win a Harley Davidson Motorbike, Quintex Fishing Boat or Seadoo Jet Ski each valued at $20K. Together with cash vouchers there was a total of $260K in prizes up for grabs.

During the promotion select Middy's branches had a visit from our touring Harley, Fishing Boat and Jet Ski. Customers were able to get up close and personal with their dream rides whilst enjoying a BBQ breakfast put on by the branches.

Winners were announced Nationwide on Friday 24th May at 9 major prize draws across our nine regional areas with 1 winner drawn at each of the following regional branches: Geelong, Sunshine, Benalla, Pakenham, Braeside, Moorebank (NSW), Darwin (NT), Virginia (QLD) and Bibra Lake (WA). The lucky winners got to choose the Dream Ride of their choice. To see the list of winners visit: middys.com.au/dreamride

Middy's are proud to have partnered with Clipsal/Schneider to bring our customers the Ultimate Dream Ride Giveaway.

THE ANNUAL GEELONG LADIES' LUNCHEON WAS HELD AT THE SCENIC MT DUNEED ESTATE ON THE 15TH MARCH.

In attendance were some of the wives and partners of our customers along with Middy’s employees from the greater Geelong area. Throughout the day the 85 ladies were treated to entertainment from Mark Andrew, a supremely talented Elvis Presley and Danny Zuko (Grease) impersonator. Breast cancer survivor June Gameau was our key speaker and shared her personal experience with being diagnosed with breast cancer. June’s insights highlighted how impacting breast cancer can be on not just the person but also family and close friends. Representing Breast Cancer Network Australia were Sue Colhesly and Andrew Simpson. Together they spoke of how money raised will help fund research and hospitals, but also those suffering from breast cancer. Following the speakers, the much-anticipated silent auction took place. In total, 19 items went under the hammer, with corporate

tickets to GMHBA stadium to see the Geelong Cats attracting significant interest. We are proud to announce that $7,000 dollars was raised on the day. As always, Middy’s matched the money raised dollar for dollar, to bring the total raised to a new record high of $14,000.

This year a donation was also made to Share the Dignity, a women’s charity that makes a real on-the-ground difference to homeless women and victims of domestic violence. Each guest received a pink bag filled with hygiene products and they had the choice to either take them home or donate them back to Share the Dignity. We are proud to say that the majority of bags were sent back to Share the Dignity. A big thank you to the following suppliers for their support, Schneider, ABB, Gerard Lighting, Legrand, Omega and Nexans Olex. Also, thank you to Kerry Whitten from Middy’s Grovedale who organised the event. Kerry states it is one of the highlights of her year and along with her team of supporters, she does a great job every year.

BENDIGO (GOLDEN SQUARE) Josh Cornwill Branch Manager Josh has worked for Middy’s for 3½ years and his key highlights have been his involvement in opening a new branch in Bendigo and taking on the role of Branch Manager. Josh is motivated by working for a family ran company who value staff and he is really enjoying his time here. He breeds horses which keeps him busy and he is a loyal Geelong fan. Arlene Collins Inventory Officer/Sales Clerk Arlene has worked for Middy’s for only a short time, but has really enjoyed the office banter and getting to know her fellow colleagues. Being a former sparky, Arlene came to Middy’s with a solid understanding of the industry and the role Middy’s has within in it. Her hobbies outside of work include riding horses and following various sporting teams. Her coolest experience was hiring a car and driving around Europe for 6 weeks. Grant Pavy Sales Clerk The Bendigo team welcomed Grant to the team 2½ years ago. Grant began working for Middy’s because he was particularly interested in the electrical wholesale industry and wanted to work for an Australian owned business. He is interested in finding new restaurants and vineyards to enjoy. Grant’s greatest accomplishment to date is being married to the love of his life for the last 35 years.

Shaun Palmer Sales Clerk Bendigo’s newest employee, Shaun has been with the team for a very short time. Having said this, he has loved how welcoming the team has been towards him and how helpful everyone has been in showing him the ropes. Coming from a retail background, Shaun is excited with the challenge of learning as much as possible in his new field. An avid gamer, he also enjoys golf, football, spending time with friends and supporting the North Melbourne Kangaroos, who he has followed his entire life. Seeing the V8 Supercars live at Sandown Raceway is his coolest experience to date.

BOTH BRANCHES Matthew Cherry Sales Representative Matthew has enjoyed being given the opportunity to enhance his knowledge and skills in the industry and is in his first year as a sales rep with Bendigo, after having previously worked at the Middy’s Horsham branch. As a former sparky, Matthew came across to Middy’s with a solid grasp of the electrical wholesale industry. His personal business goals are to help enhance Middy’s reputation throughout the Bendigo region. A fan of many sports, Matthew particularly enjoys the obscure sport of darts, with Gary Anderson being his favourite player to watch. Brendan Oates Driver Brendan is in his sixth year with the business and his highlight is being a part of a well-functioning team. Similarly to Grant, Brendan was motivated to work at Middy’s because they are an Australian owned company. His business goals are to continue to become more knowledgeable about the industry and to enjoy his work. His greatest accomplishment to date is his family and his hobbies and interests are spending time with them and doing hands-on activities. Andrew McLeod Sales Representative Andrew has been with Middy’s for an impressive 25 years. His personal highlights are meeting some great people in the industry and other staff across the three branches he has worked at. Inspired by his father who

was an electrician, Andrew saw the electrical industry as his calling. He has been a loyal Essendon Bombers fan his entire life and watching them win Grand Finals are his coolest experiences to date. In his spare time, Andrew likes to go fishing, camping and spending time with family and friends.

BENDIGO NORTH (EPSOM) Brent Thomas Branch Manager Motivated by the opportunity to grow within Middy’s, Brent began working for the company 8 years ago and recalls the year he won the ‘Sales Representative of the Year’ award in 2017 as his key highlight to date. A fishing and golf enthusiast, he also has supported the Melbourne Demons for over 40 years. The birth of his daughter is Brent’s greatest accomplishment followed by being appointed a Branch Manager at Middy’s. Daryl Howarth Sales Clerk/Projects In his 3 years with the team, Daryl’s key highlight is being able to help build the Middy’s brand in the Bendigo region. Having previously worked in the electrical industry for over 30 years and as a fitter and turner before that, he came to Middy’s with a wealth of applicable knowledge. Outside of work, Daryl loves following the Richmond Tigers and his coolest experience to date is watching his kids grow up. Daniel Groves Inventory Officer/Sales Clerk Looking for a fresh start in a new industry after having worked in the automotive industry, Daniel has recently joined Middy’s. An outdoors enthusiast, he enjoys camping and hobby farming. Daniel’s coolest experiences are having seen Collingwood win the 2010 AFL Grand Final and the birth of his child. His greatest accomplishment to date is successfully managing a large national business. Holly Mulquiny Sales Clerk Holly is a brand new member to the team and is in her first few weeks with Middy’s. Her business goals are to learn as much about the industry as possible. A sports enthusiast, Holly is also a passionate Geelong supporter and her coolest experience to date is travelling to South Africa.

He also hopes to see continued success for Middy’s in Hobart and Tasmania through the growing branch network. Heath Collis Sales Representative Heath has worked for Middy’s for 2½ years. His key highlight was coming from the Melbourne branch across to the Hobart branch (Moonah) and getting to know his customers and colleagues. Heath’s motivation to work for Middy’s was the challenge to do something outside of his comfort zone. Working at Middy’s has been exactly what he wanted and he loves learning each day. Heath is really looking forward to working as a Sales Representative at the new Hobart Eastern Shore branch. Ryan Newell Store person/Driver Ryan joined the Middy’s team in April and in his short time so far, he has enjoyed working in a great team and helping to get the new Hobart Eastern Shore branch ready.
