Kingaroy Joinery owners Amanda and Darrin Kefford hosted the latest Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce Meet’n’Greet recently at their showroom and workshop in Kingaroy Street.<\/p>\n

Darrin provided a short history of the family-run business as the guests inspected the new and old machinery in the joinery workshop.<\/p>\n

The business began as RV Rodgerson Joinery in 1929 and was renamed Kingaroy Joinery in 1945.<\/p>\n

Darrin’s grandfather Ray Kefford began his apprenticeship at the business in 1946 and went into partnership to run it in 1958. Ray finally bought out the business in 1976.<\/p>\n

His son John and daughter Jan Kerkow took over in 1990, and Darrin and Amanda purchased it in 2005.<\/p>\n

There is machinery in the workshop that all three generations of Keffords have trained on.<\/p>\n

However, Darrin and Amanda have donated some of the oldest equipment to the Kingaroy Museum.<\/p>\n

Darrin said Kingaroy Joinery is kept busy manufacturing cupboards and kitchens for schools, shops and architect-designed homes.<\/p>\n

Their clients are not just within the South Burnett, with a lot of work being done for the Brisbane market.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Joinery has just been nominated for a Queensland Training Award, and has launched a new website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker Sandy Towell, from the Nanango Arts Network Alliance (NANA), explained \u201cBrushes and Flashes of the South Burnett\u201d, a travelling art exhibition which aims to promote the South Burnett.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said 11 artists would each submit six items of work.<\/p>\n

The initial showing will be at an invitation-only event in September and then the exhibition will hit the road.<\/p>\n

Sandy said it would be shown in Dalby, Ipswich, Warwick, Rockhampton, Biloela, Charters Towers and Emerald, as well as locally at Wondai Art Gallery.<\/p>\n

It may also travel to Maryborough and Townsville.<\/p>\n

She said a video would also be shot of South Burnett footage which would be playing during the exhibitions.<\/p>\n

A second guest speaker was Sharyn Garrett from South Burnett Directions who introduced the ‘South Burnett Rewards’ shop local program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said it was an ambitious but innovative campaign, and the first time it has been done on a digital platform at a regional level.<\/p>\n

“It incentivises shopping locally at local businesses,” she said.<\/p>\n

The electronic part of the rewards program is being run via Rewardle.<\/p>\n

“Rewardle wants to use the South Burnett as a demonstration to other areas what a progressive Council can do to promote business,” Sharyn said.<\/p>\n

The campaign will be accompanied by a radio jingle, point-of-sale material, badges and subsidised advertising packages with local media.<\/p>\n

“Everywhere a shopper goes throughout the region, they will get the same message to ‘choose local’,” Sharyn said.<\/p>\n

She said South Burnett Directions was finalising a kit which will detail what businesses will get if they join the campaign.<\/p>\n

There will be two levels: a retail level (using the Rewardle tablet and app) and another for business who are not retailers.<\/p>\n

Sharyn said there were still a few trial spots open for businesses who wanted to try the Rewardle tablet.<\/p>\n
