Welcome to Australia – the Cronshaw’s

G’day Mate and Welcome Cobber were the catch cries at the Cruising Yacht Club last Sunday when Tony and Jennifer Cronshaw along with their daughters, Natalie, 17 and Laura, 14, held an Aussie BBQ and celebrated that in August 2007 they obtained permanent residency.

Arriving from Gloucester, England in June 2004 on a four year executive business migrant’s visa they purchased Rockingham Glass in October 2004, which later merged with Rockingham DBM Glass and relocated to

123 Dixon Road

December 2005. 

Rockingham DBM Glass specialises in the manufacture and supply of Shower Screens, Mirrors, Glass Splashbacks, Sliding Robe Doors and Interiors, Domestic and Commercial Glazing and 24 hour Emergency Glass repairs.   Some of the major clients are the Department of Housing and Works, and Concept Builders.   They have spent the last four years building a very successful business that prides itself on giving back into the community.

Rockingham DBM Glass is an active member of the South Coast Regional Chambers of Commerce and the Cruising Yacht Club and believes in being involved in the community. 

When asked for the reasons for coming to Rockingham Tony responded with “my mother and sister live in the district and when we visited here, we just fell in love with the people and the lifestyle. Since moving here, Rockingham and its people have never disappointed us”.

He concluded that his highlights in Australia have been numerous and he has done things that he could not have done back in England, some of these highlights include that in 2006 Rockingham DMB Glass were finalists in the South Coast Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.  That the family attended their nieces wedding in Hamilton Island which allowed them to go diving on The Great Barrier Reef, and they loved swimming with Dolphins off Garden Island.
