Getting the job done starts with getting safety right👷‍♂️
 
Great to see roof chippies from across the Trade Mates network come together for a valuable session with our Safety team last month.
 
A big thanks to Aaron, Chris, and Liam for sharing practical insights and helping ensure trades have the knowledge and resources they need to stay safe on site.
 
If you couldn’t make it, you’ll find everything you need in the Safety tab of the ABN Trade Mates app.

Perks of an apprenticeship 👌 As part of a promotion with ABN Training, roof chippy apprentice Austin from the South West stocked up on the work gear he needed, hit the qualifying spend and scored a free Milwaukee nail gun.

Not a bad addition to the toolkit!

Enjoy the new gear mate 👏

Metro North Subbies, this one’s for you!

Not long now ‘til the end of year Subbies Function.  We’re heading to Whitfords Brewing Company and we’ve got the entire Skydeck to ourselves 😮‍💨

Heaps of space to kick back with mates and reflect on the year. There’s plenty of parking with easy access to public transport. And a cheeky ocean view!
 
See you there 🍻

Well done Noah 🎉 Noah completed his bricklaying apprenticeship in late September with host trainer Gary in the South West. Noah has been incredibly hardworking throughout his apprenticeship, and will join Gary's team as a qualified bricklayer where he can continue to build and expand on his skills.

A huge thank you to Gary for supporting Noah throughout his apprenticeship and for supporting the ABN Training program. Congratulations Noah, you should be proud!

The first official Trade Mates ute is here! Designed to be easy to spot on site, it marks an exciting new chapter for the Trade Mates community, and the trades that make it what it is. We’re looking forward to getting out on the road and putting some miles on it over the coming weeks.
 
Have you spotted it on the road yet?

Big thanks to The Maker Designer Kitchens for the wrap 👌

A huge thank you Scott and Kayleigh for bringing the vibes to the Wallabies vs. Springboks game!

Scott won a double-pass to the rugby at Optus Stadium via the ABN Trade Mates app, which included hospitality and premium seating in the SEN corporate suite. It was a fantastic view from the box, with delicious food, drinks, and great company.

Hope you enjoyed yourselves!
