A Couple that Loves a Challenge!

Joe Ardizzone and Amy Flight are The Directors of The Zone Group of Companies.

Amy was born into a farming family and grew up on the family beef and rice farm in the Riverina of country New South Wales.

Growing up on a family farm was where Amy gained the foundation and life skills she has today to provide the practical, inspirational and inventive solutions.

Amy commenced her safety career 15+ years ago in the construction industry, she progressed her career in the heavy lift and transport industry in mining, and oil and gas.

Joe was born into a successful family business owned and run by his mother and father in the suburb of Bentley in Perth. Joe learned from his parents that one of rules to any business reputation standing the test of time is honesty and trust.

Growing up in the family business Joe was quick to branch out on his own and start his first successful Mobile Crane Company.

Joe has gained 30 years experience in the mobile crane and telehandler Industry in Perth. He has been providing solutions to many complex materials handling jobs, whilst building a loyal customer base with his extensive knowledge in the Industry. Joe and Amy believe honesty, loyalty and integrity in business and in life is the only way to live.

Joe and Amy’s main point of difference is that they adapt to change quickly and embrace new ideas.
