About Us

Lifetime local business on the Fleurieu Peninsula, proudly South Australian

 

First established in 1992 by David Watkins after he finished up with Telecom in Victor Harbor, he created a small local business and named it Victor Telephones.  Fixing peoples telephone wiring, fault finding and business telephone systems along the Fleurieu Peninsula, Dave invited his son Anthony  to join the business as a Trainee to learn the ropes in 1998.  So Anthony gave away his career as a baker to start this new career.   In the year 2000 Dave wanted to retire and offered the business to Anthony who bought it as a fully qualified technician.  The name of the business has evolved to encompass the latest technological changes.

​

Born and raised in Victor Harbor and knows the Southern Fleurieu very well.  Now based at Currency Creek central to the whole Fleurieu with easy access to every town from Kangaroo Island to Mount Barker.  Local knowledge is an enormous asset to our business operations.  We are very fortunate to have both sets of Grandparents living in Victor Harbor too.  

​

It is with great sadness that we said our last goodbyes to David Watkins on Palm Sunday 2020, he has left behind a legacy of hard working Watkins men who follow in his footsteps.
