🔧 MEET THE TEAM: JAMES INVERARITY 🔧
🎣 24 Years of Loyalty, Dedication, Friendship & Plenty of Laughs! 🎸
At Donna’s Electrical, we’re incredibly proud to recognise James Inverarity, who has been a valued member of our family business since 2002.
As James completes 24 years with Donna’s Electrical in 2026, we want to acknowledge not only his experience and dedication to our business, but the wonderful person he is both at work and outside of it.
⚡ A Loyal and Dedicated Tradesman
James is an honest, reliable and hardworking tradesman who takes genuine pride in his workmanship.
Over the years, he has built strong relationships with our customers, many of whom have come to know and trust him personally.
One of James’s greatest qualities is his loyalty. Not only to Donna’s Electrical, but also to the customers he looks after.
His commitment to doing the right thing, looking after people and delivering quality workmanship is something we genuinely appreciate.
😂🎸 A Man of Many Talents: The People’s Man!
Anyone who knows James knows that one of his greatest assets is his sense of humour!
James is a man of many talents, with a love for strumming his guitar and making up quirky songs about life’s journeys, experiences and the people around him.
He has a special knack for turning an everyday story into a humorous song, often with a cheeky twist that gets everyone laughing.
James is what we’d call a true people’s man.
He has a natural ability to bring people together, make everyone feel welcome and ensure nobody feels left out.
Whether he’s having a laugh with the boys at work, entertaining family and friends or sharing a story with customers, James has a genuine way of connecting with everyone around him.
He’s the sort of bloke who can walk into a room, strike up a conversation and make everyone feel part of it.
James doesn’t just bring experience to our team. He brings character, friendship, humour and genuine care for the people around him.
And after 24 years at Donna’s Electrical, we’re sure he’s collected enough stories to write a few albums! 🎸😂
🏉 A Padthaway Local with a Few Stories to Tell!
Born and bred in Padthaway, James has strong connections to the local community and a few achievements to his name!
A talented footballer in his day, James even managed to take home a local Best and Fairest award.
But perhaps one of his most memorable victories came off the football field!
In 2017, James was part of the winning footy tipping team, famously named “Getting Tipsy”, which took home a whopping $10,000 cheque! 🏆💰
And in true James fashion, the winnings were shared with the boys.
It’s another great story in James’s collection and one we’re sure has been brought up around the table more than once!
Whether it’s football, music, fishing or simply having a laugh with his mates, James has always been someone who enjoys bringing people together.
🎣 Outside of Work: Family, Music & Fly Fishing
When James isn’t on the tools, you’ll often find him enjoying one of his passions, whether that’s fly fishing, playing his guitar or spending quality time with his family.
But above everything else, James is a dedicated family man.
James and his beautiful wife, Helen Inverarity, have two wonderful daughters, Maddie, aged 13, and Jazzy, aged 9.
💙 A Special Mention to Helen Inverarity
Helen deserves some special recognition as well.
She is an incredibly caring, loving, hardworking and loyal woman who serves as the Head Nurse at Naracoorte Hospital.
Helen dedicates her working life to caring for others, helping patients and families throughout our local community.
Her compassion, dedication and commitment to helping people are qualities that deserve recognition.
Together, James and Helen have built a beautiful family, and it’s clear just how important family is to them both.
💙 24 Years Is Something Special
In today’s world, having someone dedicate 24 years of their working life to one family business is something we certainly don’t take for granted.
James has been part of the Donna’s Electrical journey for almost a quarter of a century.
He’s seen the business grow and change, worked alongside different generations of our family and helped build the relationships and reputation that our business stands on today.
But what makes James particularly special isn’t just the number of years he’s been with us.
It’s his loyalty, honesty, sense of humour, dedication to his customers and genuine care for the people around him.
James, from all of us at Donna’s Electrical, we want to say a massive thank you.
Thank you for your 24 years of loyalty, hard work, friendship and all the laughs along the way.
We appreciate everything you have contributed to our business, our customers and our community.
❤️ From All of Us to James and His Family
We wish James, Helen, Maddie and Jazzy all the very best at the Keyhole and for everything the future holds.
James, you’ve been more than just an employee. You’ve been a loyal mate, a great character and a big part of our family business for nearly a quarter of a century.
We’re proud to have had you as part of the Donna’s Electrical family.
