Our Mission:

Our Values:

At Starkey and Christoe, we believe that character is king. If you’re the kind of tradesman who cares about working well with others as much as you care about quality workmanship, then this is the workplace for you. 

Our core values are as follows:

1. People – it’s imperative to our workplace culture that our team are thriving inside and outside the workplace. We aim to bring the best out of our tradesmen, both personally and professionally. 
2. Teamwork – our entire business is founded upon teamwork so a crucial value that all our tradesmen must demonstrate is a willingness and ability to work cohesively within our team, maintaining integrity, honesty, and transparency in all things.
3. Dedication – we don’t let anything hold us back from going above and beyond to ensure the job is completed to the highest possible standard whilst maintaining relationship with all stakeholders, customers and co-workers alike. 
4. Customer focus – we pride ourselves in exemplifying what it means to be professional tradesmen. At Starkey and Christoe, this comes down to presentation, communication and precision. When interacting with customers, we expect our staff to be well-presented, communicating with professionalism and clarity, and producing work to the highest standard, particularly in the little things that a customer might not know to look for. Think of it this way: we want their tradie friends to visit their homes, see our work and ask for our contact details. 
5. Lifelong learning – we value improvement so love to hear suggestions from our staff that serve to make our workplace better. We also value tradesmen who are willing to keep learning and growing, refining, and perfecting their craft with humility.
