As we gear up to celebrate our 10th birthday in 2026, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve had in 2025. It’s been a year filled with growth, new experiences, and meaningful connections.

Office Glow Up 

One of our biggest highlights was the exciting move into our new office! This fresh space has not only provided us with a more efficient working environment but also features a comfortable waiting area, bringing the customer-facing part of the workshop in line with the top customer service you have all come to expect from Maitland Motors. Our staff room also had an upgrade with modern facilities, and even our toilet had a glow-up. Having a dedicated space for relaxation and rejuvenation has made a significant difference to our team’s morale and productivity.

DPF Nerworking

In addition to our office upgrade, we had the opportunity to travel to Newcastle for the DPF weekend. This event was invaluable for networking and engaging in industry discussions that keep us at the forefront of our field. It’s always inspiring to connect with peers and share insights that help drive our industry forward.

Automechanika

A key moment this year was when Ross and the team attended Automechanika, one of the largest trade shows in the industry. It was a fantastic opportunity to witness emerging trends and meet with industry leaders. During the event, Ross also had the chance to chat with Ben. As the winner of the Ben Workplace Award 2024, Ross shared the importance of putting staff first and discussed how Ben, as a charity, has helped him overcome some challenging times.
