ALL CHARGED UP REDARC NEWS - SUMMER 2021
2021 IN REVIEW With major lockdowns across much of the east coast of Australia due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and international travel on hold, Australians preparing to explore incredible destinations in their own backyards has meant 2021 has been a year of managing challenges. REDARC are humbled by the fact that as a business we have come out the other side stronger than ever. Our policies around workplace health and safety ensured staff could continue to work from home and the office. Because of this, and a dedication by all staff to uphold these policies, REDARC was able remain COVID-19 free. 2021 also saw REDARC’s continual dedication to innovation, with several new product releases throughout the year. Most notably, GoBlock represented REDARC’s introduction to the portable power market. Designed and built in Australia for Australia, GoBlock features lithium cells and REDARC’s proprietary DC charging technology, taking the guesswork out of designing and building your own dual battery system. To enable REDARC to meet this increased product demand in 2021, the team had to grow. Over 60 team members joined REDARC across all departments. Investing in people was critical to keep on top of demand, stay on the cutting edge of innovation and technology and invest in the next generation of skills via the hiring of graduates, university internships and placements. The year saw a number of major staff service milestones as well. REDARC were able to continue to increase their brand presence both across Australia and internationally, especially into North America. Part of this included teaming up with some of our brand ambassadors across the world to see what the idea of NO LIMITS looks like through their eyes. This series of inspiring and entertaining videos showcase the range of REDARC products and how they enable people to explore the world.
