Support for flood affected employees

With the devastation from QLD and NSW floods still rapidly unfolding, our procurement team has worked with some of our suppliers to secure discounted goods and services for those most impacted. Discounted goods available immediately. 

Lawrence & Hanson (L&H) and Blackwoods have created discount schemes for our flood affected colleagues.

  • L&H is a distributor of commercial and domestic electrical products. Ventia colleagues can purchase from any NSW or Queensland L&H outlet and will have access to the entire product range.

    L&H has created an account called “Ventia Staff Flood Assistance Cash Sale Account”. Employees can enter an L&H store and advise that they are purchasing under the account. They will need to provide their employee number (as outlined on their payslip) and can then purchase any product at a price well below standard retail. The account is immediately available for use.

    The process is as follows:

    •In any NSW or QLD Lawrence & Hanson branch approach the counter and ask “I’d like to purchase some product on the Ventia Staff Flood Assistance Cash”. The account number is: 610031670

    •Provide evidence that they are Ventia employee

    •Purchase the products via EFTPOS or credit card. (L&H stores are cashless)

    Unfortunately, L&H does not offer an online ordering service but if getting to the branch is a challenge, goods can be ordered over the phone or via email however delivery may carry a charge.

    This offer will be reviewed after three months.

  • Blackwoods' range includes household safety and hygiene products, power tools, DIY equipment, garbage bins and bags, workwear and protective clothing, footwear and electrical products. A unique catalogue has been created with targeted, discounted products designed to assist with the clean-up effort.

    Flood affected colleagues can purchase in store or online. Online orders may carry a delivery charge.

    The process is as follows:

    •Ventia employees can access Ventia rates for the purpose of flood clean-up / repairs etc. by making purchases on the existing Ventia Cash / Credit Card account.

    •The Blackwoods account # to use is 124685.

    •Employees must quote this account # when making a purchase to ensure they receive discounted prices

    •For purchase order numbers, quote ‘Flood Support’ and your name

    •Payment can only be made using Credit Card / Cash using this account.

    •We will monitor activity on this account monthly for 3 months and review.

    This offer will be reviewed after three months.
