Stocking a wide variety right here, in the South West
With a wide variety of stock available to view, it means that turnaround times are much quicker for trials and supply, as there is no need to wait to view stock from Perth or over East.
The business has grown over the years from a small retail outlet to not only having two large showrooms (in Busselton and Bunbury), but also offering hire equipment for more specialist requirements, and full installation service of anything from handrails and custom-made ramps to ceiling hoists.
