Wilkgard Technology Group was started in 1990 by the two current directors, Sally Garden and Trevor Wilkinson combining Sally’s Deeper Image company who undertook antenna installations and Trevor’s expertise as a technician creating Wilkgard Technology Group – a combination of letters from their two surnames.
The journey started some decades before in 1966 when Sally bought Skybeam Antennas and Trevor ran his own business Trevor Wilkinson Video Services. Conducting thousands of antenna troubleshooting and installations has given them invaluable experience, knowledge and observation.
Curiosity has played a big part in the development of the company and its journey. Years of on-site observation, climbing on roofs in the UK, touring Europe and antenna factories for new technology, it became apparent to Sally that the caravan market had many shortfalls in terms of reception quality and longevity and thus the Explorer range of do it yourself antenna kits was launched using premium cable and connectors ( a first) giving caravan owners superior reception results. The Explorer brand became the number one antenna kit on the market.
The business operations expanded into the audio visual market and Wilkgard Technology Group was approached by Qantas to manufacture monitors and provide maintenance for airports around Australia as well as project managing rf and av resources for the Australian Tennis Open for 12 years without incident.
Throughout the years, Sally, the”aerial woman” (so named in a newspaper article) had embarked on a research and development project to better understand rf and to develop an alternative “antenna” that would perform better than the existing models that gave variable results.
Her curiosity resulted in a mission spanning 12 years, countless hours of testing and recording of observations resulting in the ultimate in rf technology for the processing of signals – the Claxton Space Shield.
Wilkgard Technology Group is looking to manufacture the Claxton Space Shield under licence and is phasing out the Explorer brand products and thanks its loyal customers for their support.
We are bringing New Age rf technology to Australia and the world.
We have put together a team with a unique range of skills. Behind the scenes, we are also applying leading-edge technologies, which are allowing us to hire, employ,and contract individuals with the skills required to get a specified job done. Start, Change, and Stop is the cycle of action, and to be successful, you must finish a task, whether short or long, to expand.
Business plan and key executive: Sally Garden is supported now by 11 other shareholders who are providing their own special brand of experience and skill.
We are heading to foster manufacturing, foster groups that can educate and pass on knowledge, and provide opportunities for others to flourish and prosper. Everyone deserves it!
