How completing a trade can often best way to go

NOT only do they understand cars, Condell Park’s GCG Turbochargers Australia know there’s a reason why winning football teams invest so much in junior development programs.

If you don’t have talent coming through, you won’t stay winning for long.
It’s the same with any successful business including GCG Turbochargers whose technicians have been building and remanufacturing turbos for over 30 years.
Workshop Manager Josh Lambe started as a GCG apprentice in the early 2000s.
“There’s over 100 years of combined turbo experience in our workshop, mixed in with skillsets of aeronautical fitters, auto electrical and diesel specialists,” he said.
Apprentice Jarrod Walton overcame the challenge of completing most of his studies during Covid, becoming fully qualified in February.
Riley Lloyd is in the third year of his apprenticeship and is also the third generation of Lloyds in the business; Riley’s late grandfather was a founding partner and father Brett is Managing Director.
The most recent addition is Angelo Stellos, 18, who was clearly the right person for the job; even before he could legally drive, he’d carried out restoration work on his 20-year-old Honda Integra.
Brett said he was proud of his team and succession plan.
“Completing a trade is a great foundation block and doesn’t leave you with a heap of debt,” he said.
