A young one in the 150-year belt of Proserpine, Whitsunday Mowers punches above its weight, a testament to the calibre and experience of the team behind the engine.
For Wayne Drabsch, owner and manager of Whitsunday Mowers, the last five years that he has owned Whitsunday Mowers have flown by, with overseeing an expansion, directing growth, and securing the shopfront as the preferred retailer for Proserpine residents.
However, Whitsunday Mowers’ history is older than that.
“I took it over five years ago, but the business itself was going for about 20 years prior to that,” Wayne explained.
“The business had two people on the books, and we’ve got now five, with a much larger premise. In fact, one of these bays is about the size of our old premise.”
Wayne has also overseen a massive growth in brand’s that he stocks, ensuring that the people of Proserpine have the best equipment for their home.
“I am proud of what Whitsunday Mowers offers Proserpine, the brands that Proserpine deserves, and we’re excited to enter the 151th year of Proserpine township, with the revitalisation of the town happening right now.
“It is good to see people reinvesting into Proserpine, because it’s been some time since money has been spent to make Proserpine prosperous again.”
Despite its youth compared to Proserpine town, Wayne is proud of Whitsunday Mowers, who continue to employ locals, to help locals, and look after locals.
