The Story Begins
In 1985 Bearing Wholesalers opened its first branch in Bayswater. The aim was to establish the branch as a highly respected reseller of bearings.

Within eighteen months the initial aim had been met.

Consolidation and Expansion
Encouraged by this success, branches were established in Ringwood and Lilydale. After further consolidation, a significant but challenging strategy of 'establishing a program of expansion across the total metropolitan area' was undertaken.

In 1990 the expansion program began in earnest and continues today. Working on the winning formula (establish, consolidate, expand) the company set about achieving its goal. Today seven branches operate across Melbourne.
Growth - Achieving the Critical Elements
The growth achieved in just fifteen years has not come about by accident or luck. It has been achieved by maintaining a deliberate focus on what the Directors believe are the critical elements of business excellence.

Staffing
Employing the right staff. Requirements for all staff are appropriate experience, product or job knowledge, a willingness to undertake skill enhancement, courtesy and respect.


Quality Service
Customer-focusses. Product advice, courtesy, timelines, responsiveness to customer needs and accessibility underpin the service.
