Verve Electrical PTY LTD are officially the Victorian Emerging Business of the Year winners! In a field of tough competition and equally deserving contenders, we managed to score the win based on a number of factors. Here are only a handful of the winning ingredients!
In House Training:
We take our in house training very seriously, and spend a lot of time training apprentices to excel at their skillset. Unfortunately we feel the current training curriculum at TAFE leaves a lot of electricians grossly underskilled once they’re qualified, so we’re solving that problem in house. We have a training area where our budding sparkies can work on dead equipment, teaching them to install, find defects, perform checks and fault finding and even share ideas with each other!
Waste Management:
For a small business, we take our waste seriously. We recycle every item we can, using our Veolia waste bins for cardboard, polystyrene and plastics. All our copper and cable is also recycled and we even take old whitegoods to the recycler so that these items can be broken down and recycled. We use environmentally sustainable practices to minimise waste, reduce pollution and prevent valuable raw materials being thrown into landfill.
100% Safety Record:
We’re so proud of our 100% Safety Record! We have not had a single electrical incident recorded in over 2,500 days of business, or over 19,000 hours of electrical work. That’s a lot of time for something to go wrong…
Communication:
We achieve this by ensuring strongly enforced communication on site between staff. Miscommunication is a primary cause of electrical injury on a job, so we have our own ways of keeping each other safe at work. From the very first day, this process is enforced with all staff as part of their onboarding process – their safety is everyone’s job!
Customer Satisfaction:
We scored a 5 Star rating on Google in 2024, with every single review offering top marks in customer satisfaction, honesty, value for money, integrity, quality of work and even timeliness and cleanliness! This helped secure our spot as the top contender for this award, and we are immensely proud as a team for what we have achieved so far in 2024.
National Finalist:
After the awards we also found out we were Finalists in the National Award for Emerging Business! We were equally surprised and super proud, even though we only managed to rank in the top 3 for the National Award. There’s always 2025!
