In the heart of the Latrobe Valley, where people still wave to each other on the street and you know your barista by first name, Latrobe Furniture & Fitouts is proof that local business done right still matters.
At the helm are two down-to-earth locals: Christian Schill and Brian Scott. Lifelong mates in work (and golf too!), they’ve been working side-by-side since the 1970s setting up Gippsprint.
(That’s right, you read that correctly, they won’t just fit-out your office design, they’ll also fill it with pens, printers and even plant pots!)
Their story is one of longevity, loyalty, and a whole lot of furniture moved.
Christian and Brian will be the first to tell you, their partnership works because they’re different.
Christian is the front-facing guy, all about relationships, logistics, and sales.
Brian? He’s the behind-the-scenes strategist with the spreadsheets, the smarts, and the subtle wit.
It’s a balance that’s helped the business grow steadily and stay grounded - no ego, no drama, just two blokes building something that works.
Latrobe Furniture & Fitouts isn’t your average supplier. They specialise in tailored workspace solutions for local businesses, schools, councils and clinics. Whether it’s a single ergonomic chair or an entire office overhaul, the team brings experience, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for doing things properly.
Christian leads major fit-out projects across the region, managing supplier relationships, timelines, budgets and furniture logistics with a level of care that’s rare in this industry.
“We know what local businesses need because we are one,” says Christian. “We’ve walked the same road.”
What really makes this business stand out? It’s not just the service or the pricing, it’s the people.
If you've ever worked with Brian, you’ll know the difference. He’s got a joke ready, a kind word, and more often than not, he’ll chat to you like he’s known you for years, because he probably has.
“We’re not some big business in Melbourne. We’re here, in town, working with the same people we see at the footy or the bakery. That means something to us, and it means something to our customers too.”
