Transport is in their blood

Support your local economy

THE Ovens Riverside Precinct is a $3.3 million dollar government infrastruc-ture project which will benefit our local

economy. Add that project to the $25 million Co-

Store development, and we can see that the level of investment in the Rural City of Wan-garatta over the next couple of years looks to be very healthy.

This demonstrates a level of confidence in our economic future, but it also delivers that health, by injecting dollars locally, providing jobs and prosperity for the community.

The clincher is then to attempt to keep the cash circulating locally for as long as possible.

The Wangaratta Retail Audit and Devel-opment Plan Review conducted in 2008 re-vealed some interesting facts about where we spend our money.

Firstly, household expenditure was bro-ken down into three groups; food, grocery and liquor, household goods expenditure and bulky goods expenditure.

As expected, most food, grocery and liq-uor expenditure is within Wangaratta.

However, only 70 per cent of household goods are purchased from our local traders.

The household goods category includes shoes, clothing, and other household items.

The rate of local purchase drops even fur-ther when we look at the bulky goods cat-egory where 40 per cent of all purchases are made elsewhere.

This ‘leaked’ expenditure equates to ap-proximately $152 million dollars per annum.

Imagine if we could increase our local spend by just 10 per cent.

That would bring an extra $15.2 million dollars into our economy locally.

An increase of this magnitude increases business across the board – leading to addi-tional employment opportunities and more money flowing through the ‘system’.

So next time you’re thinking of shooting to a nearby city for a shopping fix, check yourself - could you spend in Wangaratta and get what you want?

Remember – what goes around comes around.

By Shivaun Brown

Economic development coordinator,Rural City of Wangaratta

BRIAN Canny always knew he would follow in the footsteps of grandfather Bill and father

Len, by entering the family’s carrying business.

“I was truck mad – I’ve watched trucks all my life,” he said.

Brian remembers “plain as day” the years when the company, estab-lished as W Canny and Sons by Bill Canny in 1905, relied on horse drawn vehicles.

“Then as a kid, I used to go in the furniture vans with the drivers, first to Melbourne, then Adelaide and Queensland after we got the bigger trucks,” he said.

“It’s just something that’s in your

blood when you’ve been around it all your life.”

Brian, who joined the company as a 15 year old in 1945, began by driving those furniture vans he had travelled in as a youngster.

He was manager of the Mel-bourne depot from 1972 to ’97, travelling home to Wangaratta each weekend to see wife Anne and his five children.

In 2007, his career and commit-ment to the local company, which is one of the oldest carrying firms in Victoria, saw him admitted to the Na-tional Road Transport Hall of Fame.

Now 82, and with sons Rodney and Greg and grandchildren Jai and Kayla involved in the business, Brian said the longevity of the company

was a great source of pride. “We still have a lot of our old cus-

tomers, including Brown Brothers and Bruck Textiles,” he said.

“The big companies are creeping in, but it hasn’t affected us yet – we’re still very competitive.

Canny Carrying Co has grown from those early days of two horse-drawn vehicles to an operation in-volving 50 trucks and employing 70 people.

Brian said the fact many were long-time employees also spoke vol-umes for the company.

“We don’t have many people who come and go,” he said.

“We have a few drivers who have been with us for 20 years, and quite a few have 10 to 15 years service.

“We must be alright to work for.”Like the Kenworth trucks the com-

pany has used for the past 20 years, including two new side loaders, Brian said the company was based on an ethos of reliability.

“If you say you’re going to do something, you do it,” he said.

The Canny name is synonymous with Wangaratta, and the business has lent its support over many years to local football and basketball clubs.

“It puts your name in front of the public,” Brian said.

And for local travellers who spot that familiar logo on the roads, it can be like seeing a piece of home - the district where the 107 year old firm still holds a prominent place, and should well into the future.

TESTIMONIAL Mount Hotham Skiing Company - Veronique Boardman (Ticket Sales)

During my time with Mount Hotham Skiing Company I have found Pinkerton Security a professional company yet they come across as a family business and all their workers cannot spend enough time explaining all aspects of our security set up. They take pride in their work and this comes across with all my dealings over the 10 years I’ve dealt with them. Our concerns are their concerns. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Matt and Kristen Lebner of Wangaratta Steel have been suppliers of products to my business for more than five years. Matt and his staff are friendly and efficient, their product range is extensive and prices are most competitive - delivery is prompt, flexible and cost effective with the whole process tailor-madeto my needs. Wangaratta Steel Supplies is not my nearest steel supplier but I don’t mind driving that extra mile to buy from Matt and the team. After all my experience with Wangaratta Steel Supplies, Matt is easily one of my favorite suppliers to do business with; I wish all my suppliers were as customer focused as Matt! Wangaratta Steel also regularly donates to www.cancercharityride.com.au which is our local Benalla Cancer Council Support Group. Last year’s ride, held in September 2011, raised $22,000- thanks to the support of community minded businesses like Wangaratta Steel Supplies. Murray Edgar - Oz Spread Welding & Fabrication, Benalla
