GME donates to SA storm recovery effort
GME will donate $10,000 to support the SA State Emergency Services and the SA Country Fire Service, in the wake of severe South Australian storms.
The storms caused widespread damage, with powerful winds, torrential rain and a statewide power outage just prior to the Adelaide launch of GME’s XRS Connect on Thursday night.
Group marketing manager Gavin Kadwell, who attended the event, said the storms affected both staff and customers.
“After the SA Premier and Police Commissioner announced workers should leave work early, we were very concerned for the safety of those still planning on attending the event,” said Kadwell.
“It was only fortunate that the winds died down and the rain slowed enough for some of the dealers to still attend, although for many, the trip into the city was simply not possible.”
The storms were predicted to be the worst in 50 years and resulted in significant disruption to many areas of the state.
