WHY THESE NEWBIE HYDRAULINK FRANCHISEES SIGNED UP TO THE “BEST UNDER PRESSURE” BRAND

Former aircraft engineer PETER THOMSON (above) says the opportunity to join the network was timely.

“After the impact of Covid-19 on many industries, I believed it was time to take a look into the future and decide where I wanted to go over the years ahead. I had the opportunity to slow down and take stock, to decide how I wanted to take my future into my own hands and provide a good strong future for my young family.

“I am at a good stage of life to invest my energy and strong technical background into determining my own future, growing with the big expansion here. Our local area needs excellent hydraulic service backing for major industries such as housing and infrastructure development, earthmoving and roads, transport, warehousing and retail distribution, municipal and all the other industries that come with growth.

“I dug deeper into the opportunity – as an aircraft engineer you take nothing for granted – and found that there was true depth of professionalism and service backing Hydraulink people. The company wants you to succeed and they will back you to do it. They have a clear idea about where they want to demonstrate leadership and I am happy to share that path to achievement.”

Fly-in-fly-out resources industry operations leader and machinery troubleshooter JORDAN LESTRANGE ended 20 years in the sector to join Hydraulink.

“I really wanted to get back home closer to my wife and family,” says Jordan. His last role was in drilling in Papua New Guinea.

“With our boys showing an interest in the business and my wife Mel doing the books – and our commitment in the community in rugby league – we would love to build a balanced future for ourselves in the place where we belong. We love the Central Coast, and we want to be here building a strong local business as our daughter and our three boys grow up.

“I have loved fixing and operating things since I was a little boy on our farm out west in NSW, where I started ploughing by myself when I was six. I was always picking up the tools to get things working right. It is bred into us out on the farm to get out and fix things – it is in our family’s blood.”
