The New SCS Ute

Southern Cross Switch-boards has invested in a new late model Toyota Hilux ute. The view is to better service the growing requirements of our customers whether it be for delivery or site work purposes. The events leading up to acquiring the new ute was quite interesting. For over 10 years Southern Cross Switchboards has been using a 1997 Toyota Hilux ute for delivery and site works purposes.

Paul O’Donnell, one of our Design Engineers did a delivery using the old ute and highlighted that we required a new ute as the old ute had deficiencies that were difficult to sustain.

The very next day, Ron Ryan our General Manager provided Jay Madhwan our Production Manager with a keys to the new SCS ute. Our officer manager, Kim Sparkes has since organized the sign writing on the vehicle. It was the first time that Southern Cross Switchboards has put sign writing on one of our vehicles. The general consensus within the organization is that the ute presents well and shows the type of quality and professionalism that we strive for day in day out.

You be the judge. Our phone number is on the ute. If you see the ute on one of our delivery runs or on one of our work sites, give us a call. We would love to hear your feedback on it.

Inaugural Southern Cross Footy Tipping Comp

During the 2013 National Rugby League Season, Southern Cross Switchboards held its inaugural SCS footy tipping competition. There was excellent participation as over 90 of Southern Cross Switchboards clients and contacts entered into the competition. The rules and regulations had everybody on their toes for the first few rounds but once everybody got the hang of it, it was an excellent competition. There were a few tragic supporters that kept supporting their respective teams however some of their respective teams did not come through for them. I was in fact one of them.

The SCS Footy Tipping Comp was a great hit and was enjoyed by all.

We are looking to bring it back bigger and better next so look out for it. We welcome all footy tipping gurus to challenge the winners from this year and take the title of 2014 SCS Footy Tipping Comp Winner. Special thanks goes out to the people involved in administering the competition Emma Caukill and Ron Ryan.
