Why We Love Working in Geelong – A Love Letter from Your Local Sparky
At Boys Light Up Electrical, we’re lucky to call Geelong home. After the birth of our second son, Brody, CJ and I made the move from Melbourne and haven’t looked back. Geelong has everything we were looking for – a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere with a strong sense of community. Here's why we love working and living in this great city.
1. The Sense of Community
One of the best parts of working in Geelong is the sense of community. It’s not just about the work – it’s about the people. We’ve found that Geelong is full of friendly, down-to-earth folks who really care about each other. Whether we're working on a home or chatting with a local business, it’s clear that there’s a strong, supportive network here. This is the kind of place where you can always count on a neighbour or a friendly face.
2. Proximity to the Beach & Nature
Living in Geelong has its perks – especially the access to stunning natural surroundings. After we moved here, we quickly fell in love with the beach, which is just a short drive away. Whether it's a morning walk along the shore or a family outing to one of the many parks, being so close to nature has been such a refreshing change. Plus, walking along the Barwon River with the kids has become one of our favourite pastimes. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy day, and we’re always amazed by how beautiful and peaceful it is.
3. Varied Work & Interesting Projects
Geelong offers a variety of projects for us to work on, from upgrading electrical systems in the growing suburbs to servicing established homes in the heart of the city. There’s always something new to do, and we love the challenge of working in different types of environments. Each job gives us the chance to contribute to the development and safety of the community, which is always rewarding.
4. A Thriving, Growing City
Geelong is on the up, and we’re proud to be part of that growth. The city is expanding in exciting ways, and it's great to be able to contribute to its development. Whether it’s residential or commercial electrical work, we’re seeing more and more people make the move here, and we’re happy to be part of making homes and businesses in the area safer and more efficient.
5. The Work-Life Balance
Living in Geelong has allowed us to strike a better work – life balance. With the beach and nature right on our doorstep, it's easy to take a break and enjoy the outdoors with the family. It’s not just about work – it’s about enjoying the life we’ve built here, and Geelong has given us the space to do just that.
In the end, Geelong has everything we need – a supportive community, beautiful natural surroundings, and a place where we can grow both personally and professionally. If you're in Geelong and need electrical work or air conditioning services, the Boys Light Up Electrical team is here to help. We're proud to serve our local community, and we’d love to help with any electrical needs you may have!
