THE POWER OF LOCAL BUSINESS: Premier Panels started in Wangaratta back in 1984 when Russell Canning and Phil Lewis decided to open their own smash repair business. It now employs 19 staff and supports multiple community and sporting groups through sponsorship and donations.

Small business - still the backbone of our community FAMILY businesses are the backbone of local communities. While we appreciate having large, national or multinational chain stores in Wangaratta it’s the family business that provides the true fabric of our retail, service and hospitality society. Businesses that began with perhaps a hope and a prayer mixed with self-belief and a vision for the future that becomes a multigenerational enterprise that grows as it helps our community grow. Businesses like Andrea and Russell Canning’s Premier Panels. It was started in 1984 when the
local Holden dealership at the time, Alan Capp Holden, decided to close the panel beating division. Russell, along with Phil Lewis, who were both working at Alan Capp’s, decided to open their own smash repair business and so they rented the back bay of “Kensington’s” shed in Ashmore Street and the Premier Panels story began. It was tough going in the early days, mainly financially trying to build the business, but they were committed to making a go of it. “Initially a lot of the business income was used to purchase
equipment and materials that were required and pay rent so there was very little left over for a weekly wage,” Russell said. “But we had grown up in the area and as our families were here and have been a great support for us so we never considered moving away.” The business is now a true Wangaratta success story, employing 19 people including Andrea and Russell’s son Lachie. “We are very happy to have Lachie working with us as we were initially hesitant for Lachie to do his apprenticeship with us for several reasons, but mainly due to not
wanting him to feel obligated to stay in the business,” Andrea said. “He has been working in the business now over 12 years and over the last few years he has managed the workshop floor. “Our two older children live further afield, our eldest son is in Melbourne – he is our IT person which has been very handy as our business grew, and our daughter, after completing her apprenticeship as a chef locally, has travelled and settled in Perth.”

Small business - still the backbone of our community From page 1 While many locals would know the Cannings through their successful business, they are equally renowned for their involvement in groups and activities away from the workshop floor. “Over the years they have been involved with Ovens and King Football Netball League clubs Tarrawingee, Moyhu, Glenrowan, Beechworth and Whorouly, the Byawatha Tennis Club and the Carraragarmungee Primary School where the three kids attended. The boys played rugby with the local Scorpions team as juniors and Lachie played junior footy with Junior Magpies. More recently they have been involved with the Wangaratta Lawn Tennis Club and Wangaratta Magpies Football and Netball Club where Lachie coaches the reserves and Russell has been the football operations manager. They have also been generous sponsors of
countless sporting and community groups along the way. “We believe local sporting clubs are very important to our local communities, they are usually run by a few hardworking volunteers and raising funds can be hard work,” Andrea said. “Sponsorship has allowed us to give something back to the local community who has supported our business over the many years we have operated. “We are lucky to have such good sporting facilities available for the community in Wangaratta.” It’s families like the Cannings who make the rural city what it is today, providing employment, supporting community and sporting groups and schools which benefit us all, and there has never been a more important time to support them. Get to know your local traders and let them know they have your support, through the good times and the challenging times.
