THE HOSE DOWN
JULY 2024

The Monthly Wrap-Up


Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Taipan? Thanks to the monthly ‘Hose Down’, we’re allowing you to take a sneak peek behind the curtain at what our team has been up to lately!

Dry July

This month, some of our brave team members embark on the daring quest of going alcohol-free for a whole month! 

By staying dry this July, they’re not just boosting their health but also rallying support for those fighting cancer. It’s a win-win! With Christmas in July celebrations in full swing and footy festivities on every weekend, they’re in for a challenge but we are more than sure they’ve got this in the bag!  

Farm Fest Field Day

With two out of our four epic Field Days already in the bag for 2024, this year’s Toowoomba show did not disappoint!  

The team spent the entire three days geeking out over high-tech farming drones, cute baby cows and helping the public spin our wheel to land themselves the ultimate Taipan Merch!  

Next up, mark your calendars for Dowerin Field Days in Western Australia on August 28th and 29th. Pack your bags, because Johnny and the crew are bringing Taipan’s hydraulic brilliance to the West! 

    

New Buildings!

We know we mentioned this briefly last month, but we finally have the keys! If you missed the recent update, we have just purchased a block of four buildings 150mtrs down the road from our current headquarters! This expansion allows us plenty of room for growth, as we are currently bursting at the seams! The idea is that we will have plenty of additional room for storing product, and an impressive test facility up there in time to come. Our resident handy man – and owner Al, has been hard at work cleaning floors and preparing the space for all the exciting plans to come. We’re excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it brings so watch this space! 

Staff News 

Our crew have had a crazy busy month with tonnes of travel and exciting adventures! Rick from Melbourne and Laura from Perth had been exploring the Victorian High Country and the Great Ocean Road and look to have had way too much fun along the way. Mitch from Perth and Sammy from R&D ventured overseas to Bali and Vietnam, enjoying some exotic locales. Meanwhile, Nat and Brad from Melbourne celebrated their engagement with a memorable night of drinks and festivities. It’s exciting to hear about all these adventures and celebrations and we can’t wait for our invitations to the big day to arrive soon… we are getting an invite… right guys?!!! 

That’s the scoop for now, catch you all in… AUGUST!  

Johnny from Melbourne, Steve from Rocklea and Taneka from Marketing head off to Toowoomba for Farm Fest! Can you spot which one is the Victorian?

The new buildings up the road from our Caboolture branch – you can’t see the back buildings in the photo but these we will occupy first, before eventually expanding to the front two.
