THE NEW DIGS! Across Pirtek’s 92-strong franchisee network there has been plenty going on with new premises and upgrades around the network. Here is a rundown on what’s been happening so far in 2012.
Pirtek Welshpool - Western Australia Western Australia’s original Pirtek outlet at Welshpool has been totally transformed with a totally new 1200 square metre facility. First opened 25 years ago at 220 Welshpool Road, the new building is on the same site after a clever rebuilding process which kept business operating at that address. The business now has a bold new look, plus extensive service, sales and administrative facilities. For a business that already boasts 18 full-time staff and six mobile service vans, further expansion is now a real opportunity. “Two years ago we recognised that we had simply outgrown the existing building,” said Pirtek Welshpool owner Rachel Anderson, who has been involved in the business for 22 of the 25 years of operation.
“It was obvious that we needed a new facility. However, the key to our business was our location and the landowners were outstanding in sharing our vision for the future. “We now have the most modern building not just in our line of business, but also the newest in the entire area. This is great for our existing customers, plus its presence is sure to draw plenty of street traffic and new business. “Pirtek has a key relationship with servicing Komatsu machinery and the new building will be a key to providing to that area of the business.

“For customers we can better service their needs, including the establishment of an in-house testing facility, which will really separate us from the competition.” FLUID MAGAZINE october 2012 I www.pirtek.com.au
