Raising funds to help Lift the Load for mental health of young men in Toowoomba, Tilly’s Top Blokes Challenge will pit teams against each other to complete the Toowoomba Showgrounds Wilderness Challenge on the 8th October.

Made up of 10 obstacles over a 5km course, the Tilly’s Top Blokes Challenge will be even tougher because competitors will be wearing a 10kg weight vest as part of the Top Blokes Lift the Load initiative to support young men in Toowoomba.

Tilly’s Crawler Parts’ owner Andrew has a decades-long fascination with earthmoving machinery which has resulted in a large collection of antique machines, some of which are now available for purchase.

 

One of these machines, a 1944 Caterpillar Bulldozer D6 5R2683SP, 72HP D4600 engine has an interesting history.

The Tilly’s team were very happy to attend the Focus HR Business Excellence Awards presented by the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce. It was a great night celebrating Toowoomba business.

We were also proud to sponsor the Innovation and Technology category. Congratulations to DataFarming Australia for taking out the gong!

Tilly's were very proud to be the naming rights' sponsors for the 2021 Toowoomba Hospital Foundation Legends at their Game event.

This year's special guests were Dr Richard Harris and Dr Craig Challen, the Australian cave divers involved with the rescue of 12 young Thai soccer players and their coach.

“People say the most important thing is the customer, and it's really important to have happy customers. But there is only one thing that makes happy customers, and that's happy staff, and this award goes to all of our staff.” – Andrew and Helen Tilly

2020 was challenging in many ways, but a commitment to hard work, continuous improvement and care for their 70-strong team has seen Tilly’s Crawler Parts record the best year in its 36 year history.

“If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we must continually look at things differently and ensure that we can adapt and change with the times.

 

“As we have committed to doing that this year, we have seen other businesses in our region do the same, and watched them thrive despite the environment. We have chosen to acknowledge this by sponsoring the Innovation Category in the Focus HR Business Excellence Awards in December.

As part of our long-term commitment to innovation and quality, Tilly’s is now proud to announce the arrival of an introductory range of quality alternative new parts for small bore engine rebuilds. Complementing and expanding our already extensive parts range, we are proud to be the Australian distributor for Maxiforce Diesel Engine Parts.
