Pickles Partners with Kinaway!
Overview of the Partner’s business
Pickles is Australia’s leading used asset marketplace and largest auction group. For over 60 years, we’ve forged a national reputation of integrity and high business standards. Our commitment to ethical conduct in all that we do underpins the foundation of our business and our quest for excellence.
As part of our social procurement initiatives, Pickles is committed to providing support for Australian communities, both big and small. We’re involved in a range of national and grassroots activities including sponsorships, partnerships, donations, volunteering, and workplace giving.
Engagement with the Indigenous sector & actions toward reconciliation
Pickles endeavours to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island businesses at every opportunity, using our buying power and business resources to attract meaningful and ongoing business relationships.
With over 850 employees across Australia and many rural and regional branches, Pickles is proud to boast a culture of richness and diversity. To celebrate this rich culture, we allocate resources across our branches to support cultural observances like NAIDOC week!
In 2025, Pickles celebrated NAIDOC week by creating a presentation that included interviews with some of our First Nations team members, a Pickles map with traditional names of lands where our branches feature and a peek at a recently purchased painting from Martumili, a nonprofit art centre established by the Martu people.
Why did the Partner sign up with Kinaway?
As Pickles continues to expand its divisions and operations across Australia, there’s a developing need for increased social procurement activities. To work towards this, we’ve partnered with Kinaway to use our Pickles power to invest into communities and generate business opportunities across many marketplaces.
What is the Partner’s mission or aim in supporting the Indigenous economy? How will Kinaway member businesses benefit from this partnership?
Pickles mission is to uplift the communities around us, including that of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island business owners. To do this, we plan to leverage the contacts and introductions made through Kinaway to source Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island businesses for a range of tenders, contracts and opportunities.
How does the Partner hope to benefit from their partnership with Kinaway?
We hope to receive a wide network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island business contacts that we can approach for a range of business opportunities. By doing so, we hope to attract more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island business owners and operators into the Pickles community which we hope will attract more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island job applicants and business partners.
At Pickles, we recognise and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. One of the ways we are doing this is by honouring the traditional names of the land on which we live and work, using a reproduction of our iconic Pickles map.
By paying homage to the traditional names of areas that host Pickles facilities, we remember where we came from and celebrate one the oldest, continuous living cultures on Earth.
