Our Community

Community involvement is important to us at Bob Parkes Automotive. Being involved with the community is not only beneficial to the business, but also contributes to Townsville being a great place to live.

We’ve been supporting local youth through work experience programs and school-based apprenticeships for more than 20 years. Allowing young people to experience the work environment before leaving school prepares them for the demands of working full-time and paves the way for a more successful transition from school life to work life.

We strongly believe in the importance of completing secondary education and have encouraged all of our school-based apprentices to do so whenever possible.

Proudly Giving Back

We are a corporate sponsor of Food Bank QLD. We are a great supporter of the wonderful work they do in our local community and the broader community.

Each year Bob Parkes supports the Lions Club by selling Lions Christmas Cakes.
