Trafalgar Group is proud to announce that we have been certified as a Great Place to Work® in Australia, a testament to our commitment to excellence in our workplace culture. 

 

Achieving the Great Place to Work® certification is not only a proud moment for us but also a clear indication of the positive environment we have cultivated. It underscores our dedication to the principles of credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie amongst our employees.

 

This recognition is more than just an award; it is proof of the trust and confidence our team has in the company and what we stand for. It's a reflection of our ongoing efforts to ensure Trafalgar Group is not just a place to work but a place where careers flourish in the thriving landscape of Australian manufacturing.

 

As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed to maintaining the high standards that earned us this distinction and to fostering a culture where every employee feels valued and empowered.

 

People are at the core of everything at Trafalgar, and we pride ourselves on being an employer championing diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We understand, accept, and value diversity in backgrounds, experiences, skill sets and perspectives, and believe these differences help to create the culture of innovation of which Trafalgar is renowned.

We employ over 70 people and are a proud Australian manufacturer with our plants in Granville, providing local employment opportunities that many of our competitors choose to offshore. We support personal and career development for our employees, providing a flexible working environment with the opportunity to learn whilst enjoying what we do.

Our people are hard-working and dedicated to manufacturing and supplying the highest quality of products for our customers.

 

Equal Employment Opportunities                  

We are proud to have partnered with Access Industries to produce our FyrePLUG pillows. Access Industries is a registered charitable organisation providing employment services for people living with disability. This meaningful work assists people living with disability to achieve economic and community participation, a sense of purpose, self-worth and a community to form friendships and relationships. Employees are supported and enabled to optimise their work potential and personal skills, and for those wishing to do so, help to prepare them to move on into open employment.

 

For over 20 years Store-Safe and Trafalgar have had a partnership with Wolston Correctional Centre in Queensland for the supply of manufactured components for the Store-Safe product range. The quality of the components manufactured is of the highest standard, and once completed are sent back to Trafalgar to assemble before being dispatched to the customer. 

 

The Queensland Corrective Services' work programs allow participating prisoners to give back to the community, develop a strong work ethic, learn a range of trade skills and demonstrate positive behaviour prior to release. Interventions while in custody such as education, programmes, vocational training and prison industries employment can help break the cycle of reoffending, so that when prisoners are released, they can successfully reintegrate back into the community. 
 
Prisoners manufacturing the Store-Safe components learn metal manufacturing, surface preparation, coatings and warehousing skills from trade qualified instructors. This equips them with employable skills and vocational qualifications on release.
