With the Middy’s Apprentice Program, you’re not just showing up, you’re getting more out of every visit. Scan your digital tool card in branch, unlock exclusive pricing, and start building your kit with gear that goes the distance.
Your card lands via SMS, ready to activate in about a week. Then it’s simple, walk in, present your card, and get rewarded.
Because backing apprentices isn’t a one off. It’s how we build the next generation of sparkies.
Sign up, get your card, and make every job a step forward
When the job gets heavy, you need more than stock on shelves ⚡
At Middy’s Laverton, industrial work comes with a different level of pressure. Bigger sites, tighter specs, zero room for delays. That’s where having the right branch behind you makes all the difference.
Justin and the team don’t just supply gear, they understand the pace and complexity of industrial projects. Fast access to specialised products, smart workarounds when plans shift, and support that keeps downtime to a minimum.
With Walid on hand as their industrial specialist, you’ve got real technical backing when it counts. On site insight, practical advice, and solutions that keep everything moving.
Less chasing. Less waiting. More getting it done right the first time.
We love a good DIY project! Shoutout to @ourmoorehaus

Behind every job well done is a Middy's Branch that’s already thinking ahead ⚡
Branch Manager Justin at Middy’s Laverton knows it’s not just about getting customers through the door, it’s about giving them a reason to come back.
From supporting complex industrial work to lining up solutions before the next job even starts, his team’s focused on making life easier on the tools.
It’s why one good experience turns into a long term partnership… and why word gets around.
Real support. Real relationships.

The electrical industry is changing fast. The sparkies who stay ahead are the ones willing to adapt, learn and spot opportunities early.
In the latest Middy’s Mag we spoke with four experienced contractors about how they are navigating industry shifts, embracing new technology and building businesses that are ready for the future.
With more than 60 years of combined experience across residential, commercial and industrial work, they share real insights on trends like automation, EV charging, smarter tools and the importance of continuous learning.
If you want to stay ahead of the curve, this is one worth the read.

Tradie Tuesday spotlight ⚡
This is what grit looks like. Setbacks, knock backs and starting again when it would have been easier to walk away. Showing up anyway and backing yourself every single day.
Massive respect to Meg for chasing the trade on her own terms and proving there’s room for anyone willing to put in the work. Proud to support sparkies like this who keep pushing forward and lifting the industry with them 👊

A good reminder for homeowners too. Don't risk it. Always use a registered electrician. Get your Don't risk it stickers at your local Branch.
Built on trust, backed by experience ⚡
Joey from Ebuilt Electrics has been in the game a long time, and nearly 20 of those years have been with Middy’s Laverton by his side. From everyday jobs to 100 acre projects, it’s the kind of partnership that just works.
When the pressure’s on, having the right material show up fast and the right advice on call makes all the difference. No chasing, no second guessing, just getting on with the job.
That’s what a seamless relationship looks like.
It’s Friday. Time to expose the real rules of the trade.
We'll start easy.
The apprentice is always closest to the broom.
