Hazell Bros continued its Statewide sponsorship of the Tasmanian Schools Triathlon annual event(s) which attracted several thousand participants across primary and secondary grades from all Tasmanian Schools.

This year the two-day events were held on 21 & 22 November in Devonport and 28 & 29 November in Hobart and attended by representatives from HB's People Team.

Hazell Bros is proud to support this important community event which promotes health and wellbeing and active lifestyles among Tasmania’s youth.

Hazell Bros Industrial Markets Division has been awarded a 5-year contract for the provision of mobile equipment and materials handling services with Norske Skog Boyer paper mill in Southern Tasmania. The fleet of over 50 mobile assets includes Wheel Loaders, Forklifts, Tip Trucks, Tow Tractors and Light Vehicles which will be maintained by the Hazell Bros maintenance team on site.

 The commencement of this contract and partnership between two iconic Tasmanian businesses which were established in the 1940’s, marks a significant milestone and we are excited to be working with Norske Skog to achieve its future goals.

We are very proud to share our achievements at the CCF Tasmania 2024 State Awards

Winner of the CCF Tasmania 2024 State Awards category for 'Safety at Roadworks'.

Award sponsored by Department of State Growth.

Hazell Bros was honoured to receive the Department of State Growth’s Safety at Roadworks award at the recent Tasmanian CCF Awards.  This award recognises the importance of supporting and encouraging safe working practices in often challenging circumstances.  Hazell Bros received the award for its strong focus on safety for workers and road users alike during the upgrade of the Bass Highway between Somerset and Wynyard.  The independent auditor rated the project as one of the best they had seen citing that the site was maintained to a high standard with staff who were professional and well-informed about safety requirements.   Congratulations to the project team.

Members of the Hazell Bros Team with Lifeline Program Manager

Hazell Bros, a company employing over 800 individuals and deeply anchored in family values and community support, acknowledges the profound impact of domestic abuse on countless Australians. In our commitment to combat this tragedy, we have partnered with Lifeline to introduce a domestic abuse awareness program within our organisation.

The primary goal of this program is to foster understanding about domestic abuse: what it entails, how to identify its signs, and how to initiate conversations around this sensitive issue. Additionally, the program aims to equip employees with information on the support services available, both within Hazell Bros and in the broader community, for those affected by domestic abuse.

Participation in this initiative is entirely voluntary, and we are pleased to report that nearly half of our Tasmanian employees have already engaged with the program. We are preparing to extend the rollout to our teams in South Australia and Queensland, shortly.

Hazell Bros takes pride in the proactive involvement of our employees and encourages other employers to collaborate with Lifeline in tailoring similar programs for their own employees. By increasing awareness and understanding of domestic abuse and its warning signs, we believe we can collectively contribute to reducing its prevalence in our communities.

Together, we can make a difference.
