Sco-op

December 2025

Dear Members, Suppliers, Directors, and Team,

As the year begins to slow down, it feels like a good time to pause and reflect on what 2025 has brought for our members, suppliers, and the wider Esperance community.

Throughout the year, our Supplier Spotlights shared the stories of local businesses who support the community every day. From practical, hands-on services to specialist support behind the scenes, each Spotlight highlighted the people and partnerships that help keep farms and regional businesses moving. Our end-of-year Supplier Spotlight Recap 2025 brings those stories together, and we invite you to take a moment to read it.

With the festive season approaching, we also want to acknowledge those who will continue working through Christmas. Your commitment during this busy period is greatly appreciated. And to those wrapping up harvest, congratulations on navigating another demanding season – your resilience and focus on safety continue to define our region.

We’re mindful that this time of year can look different for everyone. While it’s often a time for connection and celebration, it’s also important to check in on one another and take care of ourselves and our communities.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about the year to come and the opportunities to continue working alongside our members and suppliers. EOPP will operate as normal throughout the Christmas period, closing only on public holidays in line with Farm & General and Ag & Trade.

Thank you for your continued support throughout 2025. The strength of the co-operative comes from its members, and we’re grateful for the trust you place in EOPP.

Wishing you a safe and restful Christmas and a positive start to the year ahead.

Check Out Our December Supplier Spotlight

This month, we’re looking back at the suppliers who shaped our region throughout 2025. From workshops and engineering sheds to foodservice, finance, communications, and transport, each Spotlight revealed the people and stories behind the services local businesses rely on every day.

Our annual recap brings these highlights together, celebrating the dedication, problem-solving, and community spirit that keep Esperance moving.

We hope you enjoy the read!

Warm regards,

Supplier Spotlight

2025 Recap 

Esperance communications supplier spotlight

Throughout 2025, our Supplier Spotlights gave us the chance to step inside the businesses that quietly keep our region running. Each month highlighted a different corner of local industry – from engineering and repairs to communications, finance, foodservice, and more – and together they painted a picture of what makes Esperance so resilient.

What stood out wasn’t just the range of services, but the people behind them. Many of this year’s featured suppliers have deep roots in the community, family-run beginnings, or teams who have spent decades refining their craft. Others brought innovation or specialist knowledge that helps local producers work smarter and stay connected in an ever-changing environment.

Across the year, we saw suppliers who keep machinery moving, ensure essential goods arrive on time, support important financial decisions, and maintain the communication networks that link our region to the rest of the world. Some provided hands-on practical solutions; others supported the cafés, venues, and community groups that bring people together. All of them shared a commitment to helping local businesses thrive.

This recap brings those stories together – the dedication, the history, the problem-solving, and the genuine care that shaped our Supplier Spotlights in 2025.

Explore the full wrap-up and revisit the suppliers who helped strengthen Esperance this year.
