Throughout their long history, they have been involved with a long list of highly ac- claimed and well received large scale accom- modation and commercial projects. “We deliver solidly built, high quality buildings for thousands of people who live and work in them,” says Mark Kepplinger, General Manager Commercial for the group.

During our toughest times in 2013 whilst experiencing 5 months of Receiver- ship Jaxon made an enormous e ort to ensure assistance was given to assist Global in ful lling all project obliga- tions. It is this type of relationship that strengthens the commitment to strive forward and produce good results for each other and not just a one sided a air. The 7th of November was the o cial date that Global Electrotech was released from the receivership shackles and the business returned to its normal modes of opera- tion. It is refreshing to report the positive feedback we have received from industry clients and competitors during and after this period. To date the business has been moving forward, showing signs of above average growth and good steady results across all business units. Now we are looking forward to the year ahead, gaining back the con dence in the construction and service industries we work in and align ourselves with clients with stronger relationship ties to ensure a prosperous future.
