Our Why
Our Founder local Kamilaroi man, Steve Fordham was driving down the street and he noticed one of the previous inmates who was now employed through Blackrock (Steve’s company) walking along the street wearing his orange shirt, work boots and his gloves clip hanging on the side of his jeans on a Sunday afternoon.
Steve stopped and gave him a lift and asked why he was wearing his uniform on a Sunday – when he explained that he felt when he walked into a shop in his work uniform people didn’t follow him around anymore and that older women didn’t hold their bags closely against themselves when he walked past.
The GIBNEY® Barrier
Our Feature product this quarter is the GIBNEY® Barrier made for Fulton Hogan.
Our belief is the GIBNEY® Barrier will save lives on the road and as we manufacture them we are changing lives in the shed.
