Some businesses keep a town moving in ways that people hardly even notice – quietly ensuring that every school run and family journey begins safely.
For many motorists in Graaff-Reinet, that reassurance has long come from the familiar team at Supa Quick Tyre Experts Graaff Reinet.
Union is proud to continue our ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ข๐ series by acknowledging the generous support of this well-known family business, which has been part of the fabric of the town for decades.

The business was originally purchased in 1974 by Mr Putterโs father from Mr Taylor-Freeme, grandfather of Noel Taylor-Freeme. In 1977, Mr Putterโs late older brother Wilhelm took over the reins, continuing to grow the business with dedication and care.
In 1986 the business became one of the first SupaQuick dealers in South Africa and this year SupaQuick Graaff-Reinet proudly celebrates 40 years as part of the SupaQuick network – ๐ข ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข ๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐บ-๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ค๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด.

Through the Goals for Good initiative, SupaQuick Graaff-Reinet has chosen to support Clean Trade – a local organisation doing important work to promote recycling, reduce pollution and help address food insecurity in our community.
On behalf of Union High School, Graaff-Reinet and our 1st team hockey girls, we extend our ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ to Mr Dawie Putter and the entire SupaQuick Graaff-Reinet team for their generosity, their long-standing service to our town and their support of a campaign that continues to bring our community together
