BTP Group

Today is RUOK? Day, a reminder that a simple conversation can make a real difference.

At BTP, our teams are taking part in a mental health Toolbox session focused on looking after our wellbeing and supporting those around us.

The Toolbox also aligns with the RUOK? Day message, encouraging us to check in with one another. While everyone's circumstances are unique, we all face challenges from time to time, and having someone ask, listen and genuinely care can mean a great deal.

Borrowing from a familiar KitKat message, this RUOK? Day we’re encouraging our team to “Take a Break and Talk to a Mate.”

If someone's been on your mind, or if you could use a chat yourself, please take a moment to reach out and start a conversation.

BTP’s machine of the month is our CAT 16M Grader, which has been built to handle the toughest of haul road conditions.

This machine is fully mine spec'd and available for immediate hire from our Hazelmere workshop.

BTP offers a wide range of reliable late model CAT heavy earthmoving equipment for long or short-term hire. Our machines are maintained to a high standard and are backed by an extensive warranty for your peace of mind.

A busy week for the BTP team in the Hunter Valley!

On Thursday, we welcomed customers and industry peers to our Mt Thorley Workshop Open Day and Meet & Greet, providing an opportunity to tour our facility, connect with the BTP team and see Geographe's latest specialised tooling solutions in action.

We rounded out the week by supporting CPR Group's Charity Golf Day as the event's Drink Station Sponsor, helping raise awareness and funds for the Mark Hughes Foundation and its important work supporting brain cancer research.

Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the week. We're proud to support initiatives that strengthen industry connections and make a positive impact in our local communities.
