Harvey’s Towing Service: Leadership, Legacy, and Growth The Andriske family has always embraced the power of hard work and determination. From their earliest days, Harvey’s Towing Service was more than just a family business; it was a symbol of resilience, grit, and a refusal to let life’s curveballs knock them down. Fast forward to today, and the next generation—The Andriske Daughters/Sisters—are steering the ship with a blend of charm, wit, and the occasional sibling squabble over whose turn it is to clean the coffee machine or take out the rubbish. The leadership of The Andriske Daughters/Sisters demonstrates that success in a fast-paced, male-dominated industry doesn’t require a Y chromosome. Together, they offer a dynamic blend of practicality, innovation, and just the right amount of sass to keep the team on their toes. Whether it’s making tough calls during a chaotic tow or cracking a joke to ease tension in the office, they’ve created a workplace where everyone feels like part of the family—even if it means being subjected to Bridie’s endless bad jokes or Taeghan’s love for 80’s country music. They credit much of their professional growth to the mentorship and support provided by Transport Women Australia Limited (TWAL). “The guidance we’ve received through TWAL has been invaluable,” they say. “It’s not just networking; it’s like having a secret weapon to tackle the industry’s challenges and remind ourselves that we’re not in this alone.” Under the Andriske sisters’ leadership, Harvey’s Towing Service has become a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition. We celebrate each team member's strengths while prioritising adaptability—because in this industry, your reputation is built one tow at a time. From mentoring the next generation to championing industry partnerships, the Andriske daughters show that true leadership lies in creating opportunities for everyone to succeed. And if that means winding down with a post-shift karaoke session, they’re all for it! As Harvey’s Towing Service continues to grow, The Andriske girls remain committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. With TWAL’s assistance and their unshakeable dedication to leadership excellence, they aim to inspire more women to take on influential roles in the transport industry. The Andriske family’s journey is proof that strong leadership, paired with a good laugh and a lot of heart, can pave the way for remarkable growth and enduring success.
