WTC are passionate about investing in our people and our community, and for a number of years we have been searching for an organisation that has similar goals and values to us. We are now excited to announce that we have partnered with TradeMutt, a social impact workwear brand that “aims to make tradies and workers of all kinds look and feel great at work, and in doing so, reduce the rate of blue collar suicide in Australia.”
TradeMutt aim to use their loud and vibrant shirt designs to start conversations around mental health, and every TradeMutt purchase helps fund This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS), a not-for-profit mental health support service providing people with a free and easy way to reach our for help when they need it.
WTC have implemented the TradeMutt ritual of Funky Shirt Fridays a day each week for employees to wear their funky shirts, check in with how they’re doing and start meaningful conversations with the people around them.
To spark curiosity and conversation within the community we have had our newest CAT 325 Next Gen Excavator wrapped in TradeMutts Ventura print and have pledged to donate a portion of all income generated by this excavator to TIACS, any brand new equipment purchased by WTC will also be wrapped in a TradeMutt funky pattern with a portion of it’s generated income adding to WTC’s donation to TIACS.
We think this is an organisation and an initiative that everyone can get behind so to know more about TradeMutt and TIACS, or to find out how you can get on board, please visit the links below.
