It all started when John and Fiona O’Halloran acquired the business in 2008 and added their own vision to grow a one stop shop for all your cleaning needs. For many local businesses and residents, having access to reliable industrial and commercial cleaning supplies is essential. And WestCoast Supplies does just that, they cater to many industries including Food & Hospitality, Transport & Motor Vehicle, and even the Renewable Energy sector.

Located in an easily accessible location on Norrie Avenue, the shopfront is just the start of what you’ll be amazed by and how many different items are available. WestCoast Supplies carry all leading and proven brands of cleaners such as Sabco, Dominant, Tork, and RapidClean. But not to be forgotten is that cleaning supplies isn’t just about chemicals but also the tools that go with it, brooms, mops, buckets, signage, floor mats and many other items. But here is the thing that I didn’t know, they are also stockists and suppliers of vehicle paints and all the materials you’ll need for a restoration.

In keeping with the country theme when you visit John and the team, you’ll realise that there’s no need to be exploring options from the city. WestCoast Supplies deliver to all places in the Iron Triangle, the Mid and Far North, Roxby Downs, the EP and if its not in stock there’s overnight deliveries available. Just another point of providing personalised and courteous customer service.

Thank you, John and Fiona, for also investing in local sponsorships of sporting clubs and various other community activities. Congratulations for being February business of the month, your hard work and commitment to everything you provide is very worthy.

Please remember, shop local, shop Whyalla…

The conference will bring together council leaders, government, business and industry from across the Eyre Peninsula and beyond for two days of connection, insight and practical discussion, guided by the theme:

Connecting Futures: A Dream or a Choice?

The theme challenges us to move beyond imagining future possibilities and instead focus on the decisions, actions and collaborations required to actively shape them. The program will explore how regions respond to change, navigate complexity and uncertainty, and make informed, values based choices that influence long-term outcomes for communities, industries and local government.

Your February 26 & 27 conference ticket includes:

• Two evening events, including the Welcoming Evening and Gala Dinner
• A full-day conference program
• Optional add-on experiences, including the Whyalla Steelworks Tour and City Highlights Tour 

We are pleased to announce:

• Event MC: Alison Lloydd-Wright
• Keynote Speakers: Hari Hara Priya Kannan and Mike Rolls

The program explores decision making, regional futures, data driven insights and leadership in complex environments. Further speakers, including an interactive panel discussion focused on real world decision making, what worked, what did not, and the choices that can actively shape regional futures, will be announced soon.

Exclusive Bridal Hire entered the business world over fifteen years ago having noticed the market shortfall of quality hire products to the hospitality industry. Wind the clock forward and what David and Trudy James have developed is an exquisite creation of everything you’ll ever need for your wedding or special event. The business is notably the best you’ll find for these services on the Eyre Peninsula and proudly right here in Whyalla.

Entering their shop on Jenkins Avenue you’ll realise that not only are you going to find what you need but also enter for an experience. The quality of their products are designed to impress and to leave the customer knowing that you don’t have to shop the big cities for exceptional service. The shop caters for gifts, wrapping, backdrops, decorations, and now that we’re getting closer to December there is everything about Christmas on offer. And as David quotes, ‘they love a challenge’; so, if there is something you require that’s particular to you then just let them know.

They have an extensive website backed up by social pages where you can peruse the photos of their products and an extension to their cake supply business to add to the customer one stop availability.

In keeping with a seemingly Whyalla ethos, team Exclusive Bridal Hire are a family group who are dedicated to the community whilst providing products and event planning services with a warm country feel.

Congratulations EBH, a very deserving Whyalla business…

Northern Agencies first opened its doors in 1962 as a distributor for consumables and paper‐products in Whyalla. Founded by two local men, over the years the business has grown, evolved, and stayed true to its roots — employing Whyalla residents, expanding service lines, and always positioning itself as a dependable partner to local businesses and industries. Moving to the future and approximately two years ago, partners Jason Wells and Di Jenkins decided that it was now their opportunity to purchase the business. Whilst retaining respect for the company and its previous owners, they’ve kept up the mantra but also reimagined and expanded on modernising the dealership to suit their customers demands.

Northern Agencies is more than just a supplier. They’re a full‐service procurement solutions company that serves a broad range of sectors including Industrial, Mining, and Construction; Hospitality, Restaurants, and Café’, and as well as many other venues, clubs, businesses that require reliable cleaning products.

They’re brand stockists of Kimberly Clark, Northland Packaging, Milestone Chemicals, Agar Chemicals, Oates, Bunzl and many others that will provide you with a one stop shop for everything you need. They also provide Origin Energy bottled gas, and most recently have expanded their frozen goods range to include Yiros, Chips, Chicken Nuggets, as well as different sauces, gravies, and salad dressings.

The team at Northern Agencies epitomise the family feel which is felt as soon as you enter the door. You will be greeted with smiling faces, happy people and honest discussions about how they can meet your every needs. Congratulations to Jason, Di, and Team Northern Agencies for keeping a Whyalla essential service available and improving on a true local story.
