RYCO 24•7 Rides With Young Gun – Tyler Everingham

RYCO 24•7 was proud to sponsor Tyler Everingham as he raced into the Dunlop Super2 Round #7 in Newcastle. The 2018 winner of the category now known as the Kumho Super3 Series, was introduced to racing at age 10, hopping behind the wheel of a go-kart, and was quick from the word go! In 2016, at the age of 15-years-old, Everingham became the youngest driver to tackle the Australian Formula 4 Championship. Everingham is passionate about mental health and is an ambassador of the R U OK national suicide prevention charity. “As an ambassador I am excited to raise awareness, offer support and start conversations about suicide prevention and mental health,” says Everingham. “Becoming an ambassador for R U OK? is something very close to my heart as I have directly seen how important it is to ask someone if they are ok,” continues Everingham. To top it all off, Everingham was recently awarded the 2019 Mike Kable Young Gun award. RYCO 24•7 congratulate Tyler Everingham for his achievements thus far and wish him all the best in the Dunlop ...

RYCO 24•7 Houston Celebrate 1,095 Days & 26,280 Hours Of Mobile Service

Young entrepreneur Ben Pacheco and his team at Central Hydraulics Supply have just celebrated three years since joining the RYCO 24•7 Team. During this time, they have been integral in providing service to customers in the Houston region requiring an on-site hydraulic hose replacement service to reduce downtime. With five RYCO 24•7 mobile service vehicles, Ben and his team are available wherever and whenever required! Ben, a 28-year-old graduate of LSU with a degree in Business Management, is no stranger to fluid power having worked in the industry as a Territory Manager for several years. “I wanted to be in business for myself, I have a brother who is a successful RYCO Distributor and together we investigated the RYCO 24•7 program. We had no experience in operating mobile hose workshops, so it made absolute sense for us to leverage the RYCO 24•7 system and particularly in areas including the van set-up, training, marketing and on-going support”, said Pacheco. “RYCO 24•7 is about keeping the service industry moving along and saving our customers money with an on-site solution for the installations ...
