Some businesses are built on strategy. Others on timing. But Lecky's? Lecky's Electrical & Data is built on relationships — and, believe it or not, a bit of footy tipping.

From humble beginnings in the backstreets of Coburg in 1990, Lecky's Electrical & Data has grown into a thriving network of branches across Victoria and NSW. But what's made that growth possible isn't just great products or smart decisions — it's people. The kind of people who stick around for 20+ years. The kind of people who turn a casual Friday footy chat into a new branch opening. The kind of people who treat customers like mates, not just transactions.

In a world that's moving fast and leaning digital, Lecky's reminds us that real connection still matters. That trust, loyalty and a shared laugh over the weekend's game can still be the foundation of something great.

Read their story — it's a good one (link in comments).
