Stablemate changes its name!

Hi there,

We are writing to share some exciting news. On January 30, 2008, Stablemate Pty Ltd changed its name to TEP Pty Ltd.

What does the name mean?

TEP stands for Three E People. These three E’s are Equip ~ Encourage ~ Enable. This name more accurately represents what we do for our clients. We have many stories of people and businesses that we have assisted to meet their goals and reach their full potential.

Why the name change?

Our new name better represents our vision, as well as our work with clients in areas outside of the horse industry such as –
  • Agriculture
  • Horticulture
  • Mining
  • IT
  • Business
  • Sport
  • Veterinary

TEP is here to work for regional Australia and also rural industry business located in cities.

So what does this mean for the horse industry?

In practical terms, nothing about our service to the horse industry will change. Horse industry clients can still expect the same personal attention and services from TEP.

So what about the name Stablemate?

Our recruitment service will still operate under the name of Stablemate Staff Agency and our long standing exchange program will still
operate under the name Stablemate International Exchange Program.

Any questions?

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Brenda or Karen in the TEP
office on 02 4587 9770.
