1. Tell us a about your business, life and family.
In 2018, Jack became so stressed I thought he was going to have a heart attack! I [Stacey], left my teaching job of 12 years to help.
Jack started his career as an electrician working for a solar company on the Central Coast. After some time, Jack returned to his hometown Goulburn and was offered an apprenticeship with a local electrical company.
Now just a few years later in 2021, JDY Electrical is an award-winning business run by Jack and myself. What a change!
In both roles, he was working long hours and often weekends, which took its toll. So, after 13 years, he had enough and decided to go out on his own. As a result, JDY Electrical was born! Jack was a one-man gig working from our garage and home office. Sadly, owning his own business didn’t solve the issues he faced in the previous roles of long hours and constant weekend work. It was not the result we had hoped for. As the business grew, we hired an apprentice in 2016 and sought the help of a business education. Jack and I went to a Lifestyle Tradie live event. We loved Andy & Angela’s story and what Lifestyle Tradie offered and joined on the spot! Our first BIG decision after joining was moving the office from our home to a warehouse.

We have three employees, a thriving business and a shop front — A big change from our humble garage beginnings! At JDY Electrical, we pride ourselves on being well known for our excellent customer service and our willingness to help the elderly and the outlying rural communities. We are also very heavily involved in the local soccer association, which showcases our strong community involvement, and the values of our business. We are one of very few in the area who specialise in industrial instrumentation and have an awesome customer base in this field. Having a niece in the market has given us a great competitive edge, and allowed us to grow as a business. Jack and I have been together since we were very young and married for 16 years! We have always shared very similar life goals and interests. We have two beautiful kiddos Evelyn, 14 and Bradley, 9. Our kids are our world and they keep us busy with soccer and mountain biking! We love to explore the snowy mountain region and new places during the holidays and love the outdoors in the warmer months. Goulburn is not known for its outdoorsy weather in winter, so it’s snuggles, movies and books after soccer through winter. L I F E S T Y L E T R A D I E .C O M . A U
