Help Enterprises proudly supporting Lock Jaw Ladder Grip’s Success

Help is proud to be supporting a local business revolutionary safety device is taking the world by storm.

Queensland’s Gail Bray and Craig Charlton have taken their backyard idea and turned it into Lock Jaw Ladder Grip, a unique ladder stabiliser, which has become a global phenomenon and award-winning product, exported to countries like New Zealand, Europe, the US and Canada.

When demand for their product started to grow, Craig and Gail turned to fellow Queensland business Help Enterprises for support.

Help became their logistics partner and has been providing processing, packaging, labelling and distribution services, with sales of Lock Jaw Ladder Grips topping 13,000 units in the 2024 financial year.

“We have been with Help now for five years. We’re always impressed with how much Help can do for us. Their added capability of processing, packaging, labelling and distribution makes our supply chain process so simple. It makes a huge difference for us to know we’re supporting a local social enterprise. We love working with the team at Help,” Gail said.

Help offers a range of commercial services and products through its social enterprise division including third party logistics, manufacturing, and hospitality. Help’s social enterprises offer real employment opportunities for people with disability. Working with diverse businesses provides a variety of opportunities for Help’s supported staff to learn and grow. This in turn builds on Help’s commercial capabilities for their clients.

Head of Commercial at Help, Alex Young, said Help is proud to be part of another great Australian success story. “Our third party logistics services offer businesses the support they need to grow. Gail and Craig’s story is a great example of this. They worked hard to build a thriving business growing sales from 200 units in 2018 to 13,000 in the latest financial year, and we’re thrilled that we’ve been able to support that through the provision of our quality services.”
