Newsletter November 2019 .
Welcome from our CEO – Craig Perkins
The Coop, thanks to the wonderful support of our Members and Customers, recorded strong sales for
the month of October right across our business. This is a very encouraging result given the ongoing
drought and soft retail sector.
In this month’s newsletter, we have an opportunity for our Members and Customers to pick up a great
deal with our Off-Season Seed sale, together with a number of store promotions being run in the Retail
and Produce departments.
We recently created a fencing display on site to promote the various types of fences available, including
Gallagher, Whites Rural, Waratah and our new suppliers Rotech and Amacron.
I am delighted to advise we completed our first project for the Wingecarribee Adult Day Care Centre at
Bowral, where we donated plants for the garden upgrade. A number of staff and directors volunteered
their personal time to complete the planting and mulching for the new facility.
Enjoy the newsletter
Best Regards
Craig Perkins

WATER MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
Here we have a customer’s existing irrigation system that was constantly leaking through the glue
joints. We were asked by the customer to come in and repair/replace the PVC pipe, as they were not
happy with the existing installation. It is now neat and tidy with minimal glue and primer showing.
Our Water management team were called in to do a service of an Irrigation system. The picture below
is just one of the jobs we tidied up on site. We tried to minimise the confusion of the pipes and make
it neat and tidy inside the pump house itself.
