COMMUNITY | Supporting the Knights Tee-Ball Team



At MMT, we feel we have a corporate responsibility to support the communities that support us.

This is seen through our support of various industry events over the years including the Chamber of Commerce, Safety Awards, Leadership Matters and Local Government events to name a few. We believe that our support should extend beyond our immediate business network and reach into the communities where we live.

As part of this philosophy, MMT are currently supporting a group of young Tee-Ball players, the Under 11s Knights Tee-Ball team who are affiliated with the Yangebup Knights.

This club was formed in 1996, after ‘securing’ a number of players from the Melville Braves. In the first season they competed in 'C' Grade, however with greater interest, the club has grown both its senior and junior team involvement.

Garry Spouge, Managing Director of MMT says, ”it’s a great feeling giving back to the community, especially a group of kids. I remember back as a youngster looking forward to the weekend just to get to play sport. It’s good to know in some way we’re helping the next generation do the same”. 

Darryl Green, parent to one of the Knights players says, ”the support of companies like MMT is greatly appreciated, as it helps us with uniforms, competition fees, and equipment. A lot of parents would struggle to put their kids into these sports without them.”

PRODUCTS | Teaming up with ALL EARTH GROUP





Modern Motor Trimmers have recently teamed up with All Earth Group to add a range of stabilisation products to its range.

Diamond Grids are a ground surface stabilisation system that provides erosion control, stabilises soil and improves drainage.

Given that many of our existing customers have a need for or currently use similar systems, this partnership provides an opportunity to provide an even better service to everyone who walks through the MMT door.

In a similar vein to our partnership announced with Midland 4WD Centre last issue, if you have an existing account with All Earth Group, that's great, you can keep sourcing your product directly through them. For those of you who don't, or you just find it easier to deal with us, then let us know what you need and we can take care of supply - for exactly the same price, saving you the hassle of running around town.

Grant Van Elyswk, Sales Manager of MMT, says this partnership will expose the Diamond Grids system to a wider audience. ”Both MMT and All Earth Group, while operating in and around similar industries, have different relationships with different customers. We think by working together we’re going to be able get in front of alot more people, and “solve alot more problems” that people may have".

For those of you who like technical detail, the following provides a bit more information.


How Do They Work?

Diamond Grids create a multi-layered drainage system that drains water from the surface, reducing erosion and eliminating compaction of the substructure. The result is a surface that is solid, dry and secure even with constant use and in heavy rainfall.

The Grids are durable, having a load bearing capacity of over 1,000 tonne/sqm once installed, meaning that they will not wear through even with constant use.
