When emergency services crews arrive on scene, their vehicle needs to support the way they work from the moment the call comes in.

That means practical layouts, reliable systems, considered equipment access and a design that supports crew safety and operational performance in demanding conditions.

At AFAC News 26, the Varley Group Special Vehicles - SEM Fire and Rescue team will be sharing our experience delivering frontline emergency response vehicles for agencies across Australia.

Every vehicle is developed to be fit for purpose, practical in the field and ready to support crews when performance matters.

If you are attending hashtag , visit Stand 622 to speak with the team about frontline response capability, fleet requirements and future vehicle programs.

We're pleased to recognise Paul Felix following his retirement from Varley Group.

Paul's connection with Varley spans decades. He first worked with Varley Ship Repair in the 1980s before returning to the business 10 years ago as a Valve Fitter with Varley Power Services. During his second stint, Paul developed a highly regarded skill set in valve overhauls and became a trusted member of the Field Services team.

One of Paul's greatest contributions has been the knowledge he shared with others. Through training and mentoring apprentices, he helped develop the next generation of tradespeople, with many going on to build successful careers.

We thank Paul for his dedication, craftsmanship and contribution to Varley, and wish him all the very best for a well-earned retirement.
