We're thrilled to be an exhibitor at the #ACCPANC24 event this week! If you're there and still around, make sure you swing by and see the team! Congratulations to the crew for all the hard work and huge amounts of effort that goes into attending something like this.

We are very happy to have partnered with IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions) to develop a high-quality Revit library for our Raymor products. This library includes detailed 3D models for our full range of Raymor product families across our extensive product categories. This library was created to give our Designers & Architects the tools they need to easily include Raymor in their plans, allowing them to explore different Raymor styles and products through digital models with accurate visual representations.

This year marked a significant milestone as we reunited in person for our National Conference for the first time since the pandemic. Our theme, ‘Better Together,’ was more than just a slogan; it was a call to action. Through collaborative workshops led by industry experts, we fostered a spirit of mutual growth and shared insights. The evening reached new heights with our team awards and an electrifying keynote from the remarkable Gus Balbontin on the power of embracing change. A heartfelt thank you to Gus, our dedicated organizers at Kode, and our outstanding team for making this event a memorable triumph.

Last night, we gathered for our annual Tradelink National Conference, and what a night it was! We celebrated our amazing suppliers, who are the backbone of our success. The theme, ‘Better Together,’ couldn’t be more fitting as we recognize the power of teamwork. It’s a reminder that we’re all in this together, and we truly appreciate the hard work and dedication of our partners. A huge shoutout to all our award winners - you inspire us every day! Here’s to many more years of collaboration and success!

The recent opening of the Oakleigh branch brought current and new customers together with suppliers for a great day. Make sure to stop by and meet the team.

Fletcher Building have announced that they have entered into an agreement with Metal Manufactures Pty Limited (MM) to purchase Tradelink. MM is an ideal owner for Tradelink given their long and successful history in the trade industry, and this transition marks the beginning of a promising new chapter for the business. MM is a reputable and experienced player in the Australian trade industry, with a proven track record in wholesale trade distribution. Their expertise and capabilities align naturally with Tradelink, and we’re excited about the business potential under this new ownership. This change presents us with an opportunity to leverage MM's strengths, which will ultimately benefit our people, customers, and our long-term growth. We have every confidence that together, MM and Tradelink will seize the opportunities that this change of ownership affords and look forward to a successful future.

Tradelink is dedicated to supporting women at every phase of their careers and by highlighting the authentic stories of our team members navigating the real challenges of both their personal and professional lives. After being in a business for over 18 years Kim Isaacs was unsure how she would go in a new environment especially a specialised industry such as plumbing. Even though she was anxious, she was made to feel very welcome in the Tradelink family. "The plumbing landscape is one that demands a balance between knowledge and care of the customer relationship coupled with our team being the best they can be to bring it all together for an outstanding customer experience" Kim said. Tradelink is proud of attracting and developing diverse talent at this level of our business and we are proud to achieve 100% pay parity for equivalent roles within our business. Encouraging future female leaders and plumbers will help break down roadblocks that may still exist as Kim believes that you can’t be what you can't see. "I look forward to my journey with Tradelink now and into the future" – Kim Isaacs Explore the possibilities with Tradelink today at https://brnw.ch/21wHGcc

It doesn't have to officially be R U OK day to check in with your team. Last week our team put on some delicious BBQs at our branches across the country. Why, you ask? Well, it's all part of our focus on psycho social health. We believe in creating a culture of safety and looking out for one another, and what better way to do that than over some good food? Our staff and customers loved it!
