Ridgetech

When you think IT, you probably don’t think athletes… and you’d be absolutely correct. 😅

But this March, Daniel and Chelsea from our team at Ridgetech have signed up for the Cancer Council Australia's March Charge - attempting to run 85kms in March and raise funds for an incredible cause.

We’re far more comfortable behind keyboards than in running shoes, but we’re giving it a crack to support the amazing work the Cancer Council does.

💛 Feel free to donate, support the cause, or simply enjoy watching two IT people try to run.

❤️ Ollie’s Legacy

Some of you may have seen the recent article featuring Brad from our Ridgetech team and the story of his beautiful son, Ollie.

Last year Brad and Ollie’s mum Katie faced the heartbreaking loss of their cheeky two-year-old boy after he battled two extremely rare genetic conditions. In an incredibly selfless act, they chose to donate Ollie’s organs so he could help others - giving someone else the gift of life.

We’re incredibly proud of Brad for sharing Ollie’s story and helping raise awareness.

You can learn more about organ donation or register your decision through DonateLife Australia.

A piece of Ollie lives on: the 'cheeky' toddler who gave the gift of life 'The fact that he was able to pass that gift on is incredible.'

💙 💛A Legacy of Community, Now Backed by Ridgetech 💙💛

We’re proud to announce that Ridgetech is now an official platinum partner of the Devonport Strikers - a partnership that means more to us than just a logo on a sign.

Today marks the official opening of the Gordon Rimmer Grandstand, named after Chelsea’s grandfather — a man whose legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of this club and this town.

Gordon was a true community builder. As a long-time president of the Strikers, he gave his time, his energy, and his heart to a club he believed in. And always beside him was his wife Jean, working quietly behind the scenes, never asking for thanks, but always showing up.

At Ridgetech, we believe in doing business the same way Gordon and Jean lived: with purpose, humility, and a commitment to the people around us. We’re not just here to provide IT and security services — we’re here to support the communities we live and work in.

If we can serve our clients with even half the integrity and dedication they showed, we’ll consider that a job well done.

Here’s to local football, lasting legacies, and building something meaningful— just like Gordy and Jean, together. ⚽

🚗💨 The countdown is on!

Our very own Aaron Ridge is gearing up to take on the Sh*tbox Rally, driving a $1500 car across some of Australia’s toughest terrain — all in support of the Cancer Council Australia

This challenge isn’t just about the journey (or the questionable car)… it’s about community, resilience, and coming together to make a real difference.

A massive thank you to some of our incredible local businesses and suppliers who got behind them with some seriously generous donations — helping them raise close to $35,000! Your support means the world and has made this journey possible.

And if you haven’t chipped in yet, there’s still time to get involved. Every donation helps fuel the fight against cancer.
