Ranger Recruit in Victoria

Richards, who was previously the Melbourne branch manager for another lifting company, said: “I believe Ranger has great potential to grow in Melbourne and I see myself playing an important role in contributing to it becoming a market leader—here in Melbourne and nationally. The business is very modern and is always offering new and improved ways to better serve customers and suppliers alike. My main responsibility will be to coordinate sales internally at the Melbourne office and work closely with all staff to help achieve an efficient, customer-based service. It is my experience that if we are able to offer customers consistently what our competitors cannot, we will develop into the premier lifting and rigging equipment provider.”

Ranger is adept at onboarding new staff, even in gazelle growth mode, and has adjusted induction and support programmes in line with COVID-19 protocols. Kristie O’Connor, the company’s sales operations, and project manager, will initially take the lead on these processes. The Melbourne operation, which will be four years old at the turn of 2022, already functions autonomously, which gives the company two established sites from which to support state expansions in Queensland and Victoria respectively.

Thacker said: “Adding more cost to the business at a time of regional lockdowns is always going to have some risk associated with it, but we have built the business on great foundations, and when opportunities present themselves, we do whatever we need to do to capitalise on them. We have titles and owners but realistically we run a very flat structure and no single person is more senior than the others; we give everyone the space they need to pick up the ball and run with it.”
