 My name is Mark Johnson at JMA Engineering. I'm National Sales Manager. JMA Engineering has two distinct divisions. One is stainless steel fabrication and the other one is mild steel construction. As the wine industry grew so did JMA as we were just well placed in the middle of the wine region to deal with it. And here we are today. The grant was just a great opportunity for us. You know the timing couldn't have been better. Like a lot of industries we come off the back of the GFC struggling. And in addition to that we had to deal with the biggest drought of all time. To combine the two you put a lot of pressure on any small manufacturers particularly in this region. This grant and I was to have a look at some equipment that could then make us more competitive in other industries on a national scale but you know it wasn't cheap. And we had sort of looked at it for a couple of years and we just were struggling a bit to have the confidence to go ahead with it. And then the grant come up and we've seen it as a real pathway to making it all happen. We had a bottle neck in our production line where we had to do a certain task of moving a big stainless sheet of coil manually and there was no equipment available in the world 30, 20, 10 years ago. And it was not just the labour intensive. The risk involved in dealing this task was frightening. It was a 10 person task. This in-car straight maker just took that bottle neck out of our production process and made us much more efficient. We went from having 10 people at risk twice a day or three times a day to zero risk all based on this machine. So you know it's tempting to think about the financial gains of having better production with this machine but the reality for us was we think it's just been potentially a lifesaver and the technology was pretty exciting for us. It means we can build bigger tanks, we can build high pressure vessels. It just opened up a whole new field for us. My name is Tony Costa from Costa Brothers and I'm the operations manager down here. We spoke with some, we worked with them fairly closely. We demonstrated to them the need for this facility, why it had to be here, why there was a demand for it. We went through and identified that the industry was at its maximum potential. There was no more room for growers and growth in the industry. So by us putting in the facility down here in the Riverland area with the Psalms Grant it's now taken the pressure off of all the other hullers and cellars. Also the growers now have room to grow because there is more processing available now. So the industry is very welcoming on what we've been doing and with the Psalms coming into it it gave us that bit of breathing space that we could actually achieve what we wanted to achieve. Without that we probably wouldn't have been here. This created a lot more jobs for locals, up to 35 more positions for people. On the facility here we've had well and truly over 100 trades people come in. So our town and community around here has benefited greatly from it. From as little places as your take away shops, right through the Adelis, through to the local hotel which has basically resurrected quite a few businesses. Paul McGormans' name, we're here at Thornby. So we're a family business. So we crop about 6,000 acres of cereals, mainly wheat and barley, a lot of hay as well. And then we also have the lamb feedlot and that's sort of grown over the years as well. So it's developed to now be our main enterprise. We also have a breeding property on Kangaroo Island. So that keeps us busy. We've had I guess a larger master plan for our business and particularly the feedlot side of things about targets where we want to get our growth to and where we want to reach those. And the grant that we receive has really fast-tracked them. We were able to complete an expansion of our yards. Another 16 pens we've put in out in the feedlots. Now we're up to 49 yards. We're able to increase our grain storage. We grow a lot of the grains ourselves, but then we buy a lot in from locals around the place. And it's just been valuable having the storage to be able to do that. We upgraded our feed mixer. The final aspect was upgrade to our sheep yards. And that has been one of probably our biggest benefits there. We put a big shelter over top and the loading ramp. So now we have lambs coming and going and we can load them. 400 lambs within 40 minutes, two people. Load it quick and away to the abattoir nice and quick and all in a safe manner. And that's been a huge labour saving for us. We've just done performance reviews recently and we've got the happy staff. It's a physical job, but we've been able to put some technologies in place that have cut down on the manual tasks working with sheep there. And it's just making life a lot more comfortable there for our employees and ourselves there. So a bit more of a pleasure to work with the sheep. We have our own private label there as well, Thornby Premium Lamb. Back in 2014 we actually entered Australia's best lamb competition and now our lamb was awarded, got the title. We won the grand champion and that then really spurred us onto going, well let's do something a little bit more with it. We've actually now spliced through a wholesaler and allied into some number of restaurants, the high quality restaurants there. And we've actually set up a new joint venture company with some restaurateurs in Sydney and developed a range of ready to eat meals. This grant here certainly freed up my time to be able to go work more on the business, not just working in the business. There's a lot of innovative businesses out there within the rural sector and people are looking to go, well I know this next step I want to take but there's a little bit of help along the way to do it. And having programs such as this has really, for our business and I'm sure for the other business as well, it's really just fast-track to all these targets that they want to get to. It does give businesses that extra hand to be able to expand where they would never have expanded before. It gives them a chance to have a look at new technology which they would never have been able to do. By business expanding, then we're finding that the towns are building up, people are staying. There's actually things here for people to do. Small business in the Riverland area has been very, very challenging and every time these grants are made available it's like a little shining light and you see it in the papers and people talk about it and it makes it feel good living in the community where there's some positive things happening.
