Ex-Cyclone Alfred may have delayed our International Women's Day Morning Tea, but it didn’t stop us from coming together to celebrate the incredible women at The Drake Group! 💜 Our Director, Maggie Nilson, highlighted the progress we've made as women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. While we've come a long way, there’s still more to achieve. It’s all about equal opportunity and we’re paving the way for future generations — leading by example and setting new foundations for what’s possible. From the early days when only a handful of women worked on the factory floor to now, where women hold vital roles across multiple areas of the business, our presence continues to grow. We are not just filling positions; we are reshaping expectations, proving that skill and dedication have no gender. Every step forward is a step toward a more inclusive industry, where talent and hard work define success. As we continue to challenge norms and push boundaries, we inspire the next generation of women to pursue careers in manufacturing with confidence and ambition. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInManufacturing #thedrakegroup

Bad weather was our gain — what a truly magnificent and iconic Australian landscape you were able to capture. Goosebump stuff! Thanks to the team at Plant Haul Pty Ltd for showcasing our Drake Trailers out there in the great southern land. This is Australia.
Epic footage captured by our team just after being loaded in the Australian outback with these 32 tonne excavator tracks and were advised to leave due to the incoming storm. Our drivers Ben & Jeff could have been stuck for days if there was a downpour at the mine site. What a way to capture this great southern land 🇦🇺⛈️🫶🏼 #thedrakegroup #volvotrucksaustralia #outbackaustralia #heavyhaulage #planthaulheavyhaulage

This tough little unit is built to handle the heavy lifting, keeping everything rolling smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to Colpak for choosing Drake once again — because every haul is only as strong as the team behind it! 🔥 And there’s more to come… Watch this space! 👀 #DrakeTrailers #ThePowerBehindThePayload #HeavyHaulage #BuiltToPerform

We recently welcomed the team from BlastOne International to Drake HQ, where they caught up with our Paint Operations Manager, Daniel Neilson, to discuss why we choose GMA Garnet for our blasting process. Using GMA Garnet has made a real difference in our production—saving time and costs while delivering an exceptional finish. Our team has also noticed a significant reduction in dust, improving workplace conditions and making it a product they genuinely enjoy using. The quality speaks for itself and we’re proud to use a solution that enhances both efficiency and safety. Check out the video to hear more! 🎥👇 #TheDrakeGroup #BlastOne #GMAGarnet #QualityFinish
