46 Business View Australia - September 2015

“Our growth started in 2010 when

the state government created a once

in a lifetime business environment for

firms specialising in renewable energy.

To keep up with the demand we had

15 staff at one point and that went

from four or five staff in the space of

12 months.

“I found myself spending most of my

time dealing with quality assurance

and staff issues. I realised that we had

to downsize. We have about five staff

at the moment that do very good work

for us. We also realised that we did

not really have the systems in place to

keep everything under control.

“In the last two years we have

put in a lot of conscious effort into

developing processes and we have

now reached a point where we have

a full digital management system that

has procedures on safety and testing

built into it and is accessible out in the

field. We have procedures that allows

us to maintain quality which is very

important in the electrical industry.”
