18-24 May is National Volunteer Week. It’s an annual celebration to recognise the vital contributions of volunteers and highlights the importance of giving back.

This week we thank and proudly acknowledge one of our own - Camp Quality has recognised Tim as their TAS Gillard Volunteer of the Year and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This acknowledgment is very well deserved ✨👏

Thank you Tim, for your dedication to supporting our community 🥰

Beyond his regular volunteer work with Camp Quality, Tim is also a regular blood donor, has been involved with Rotary and countless other organisations.

Make sure you give Tim a high-five next time you’re in the workshop. 😁🤝🎉

Citroën DS in this week.

Introduced in 1955, they were so far ahead of their time with hydropneumatic suspension, self-levelling ride height, and front disc brakes before most cars had even caught up.🇫🇷
