Today we downed tools and paused to remember the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country.

Teams from BTP Group and Ausdrill came together for an early ANZAC service at our Hazelmere workshops.

The ANZAC service included a commemorative address delivered by Justin Hughes, Vice President of Eastern Regional (Bassendean) RSL and a Gulf War Kuwait veteran. This was followed by the Ode of Remembrance, read by Kevin Mansfield, BTP Trade Assistant and RAAF veteran.

We honour the bravery of all those who have served our nation, and their invaluable legacy that has helped to shape our way of life.

Lest We Forget.

BTP is proud to support hands-on training by donating industry-relevant components to Zeal Futures for their apprentice training programs in Rutherford. BTP donated a number of transmissions, torque convertors and differentials to give students the opportunity to get more practical experience.

The components will be used by students studying a Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology (AUR31220). This trade training program was introduced by Zeal Futures last June through a partnership with Glencore, providing specialised training opportunities for apprentices employed across the mining industry.

Pictured are Colin Kirkwood and Mark Ostermann from Glencore, Stephen Tritten from BTP and the students and team from Zeal Futures at the official handing-over of the BTP driveline components.

Access to genuine, industry-relevant components allows apprentices to move beyond theory and develop the practical skills that directly translate to the workplace.

BTP is proud to play a supporting role in developing future tradespeople and strengthening skills pathways in the Hunter Valley, helping ensure the region continues to support a highly specialised and evolving resources sector.

We are delighted to welcome the 2026 cohort of apprentices to BTP Group!

This year, we are proud to welcome six new apprentices, who will be training across four different trades including HD Mechanics, Fabrication, Auto Electrical, and Fitting & Machining. Our intake reflects a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, strengthening our future workforce.

We are also pleased to support a trainee in Mackay, who is commencing her school-based traineeship with BTP while completing her studies.

At BTP, our apprentices have a great opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, working across a number of areas including our component rebuild centre, equipment and hydraulics workshops.

We wish them all the best as they begin their learning journey at BTP.
