Sco-op
November 2025Dear Members, Suppliers, Directors, and Team,
As we head toward the end of the year, we know many of you are balancing the tail end of harvest with Christmas preparations, family commitments, and some well-earned downtime. It’s a busy but rewarding time across our community, and we hope you’re all managing to find moments of rest amid the rush.
In this Sco-op, we’re sharing a few important updates for the season ahead, including Christmas opening hours from our suppliers, the announcement of our 2026 Scholarship winner, and a spotlight on one of our long-standing local businesses, South Coast Foodservice. It’s a great opportunity to stay across what’s happening locally as we wrap up another big year together.
Thank you to all our members and suppliers for your continued support, collaboration, and commitment to our community. We wish you a safe, smooth, and happy festive season.

Southcoast Foodservice
This month, our Supplier Spotlight shines on South Coast Foodservice – the local team keeping our region’s farmers, cafes, restaurants, and community businesses stocked with quality food, cleaning, and packaging supplies.
With more than 60 years of experience, South Coast Foodservice has grown from a small family-run operation into one of the South Coast’s most trusted suppliers. Originally operated by Peter Swann and later purchased by MBL Food & Packaging in 2021, the business has kept its strong local values while expanding its reach and product range.
Today, they deliver thousands of food service products across the region, supported by partnerships with Countrywide, RapidClean, and the National Beverage Group. From fresh and frozen meat to cleaning products, beverages, and packaging essentials, they make it easy for businesses of all sizes to access everything they need in one place.
What really sets them apart is their team – friendly, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile. Many customers have been with them for decades because they know they’ll receive genuine service backed by safe handling, dependable deliveries, and a local crew that truly cares.

Congratulations to Our 2026 Scholarship Winner
We’re excited to share that Ella Ivers has been awarded this year’s EOPP Scholarship. Ella is a bright, motivated student who has a genuine passion for agriculture. She’s doing incredibly well in Ag Studies at EACS and spends much of her time around animals, including helping out at the racehorse stables.
Ella has been accepted into the WA College of Agriculture in Cunderdin for Years 11 and 12, where she’ll continue building her skills and knowledge. She hopes to become a heavy diesel mechanic after school and is keen to stay in Esperance – something we’re always proud to support.
Ella’s enthusiasm, drive, and love for the ag sector made her a standout choice, and we’re thrilled to help her take the next step in her journey.
