Though e-business is really moving ahead in the Latrobe Valley, the move to become a click-and-mortar business can be a little overwhelming. Morwell Club and George's Mowers have shed their apprehension and are sure that the expansion will be a good one.
Morwell Club are renowned for the exceptional service they provide in everything they do. With facilities like the winners gaming lounge, open dining area and fully equipped billiard room they aim to make your night enjoyable on any occasion.
The website reflects their sense of customer service to the last moment. With building plans, maps, events calendar, employee details and even a virtual tour the Morwell Club doesn't take chances when they know the world is watching.

George's Mowers are a family based business, best known for their wide range of products and service with a smile. In the business for several years now, they are relatively new to the internet scene.
The website (built and maintained by the all-mighty Messenger) is relatively small but makes the best of it's one page stance. Very user friendly, the site is easy on the eyes and a helpful resource to people looking for the place to go for their mower needs.
