Parts Interpreter Andrew ‘Frogger’ Fregonese is one of a small group to reach a remarkable milestone with the company

Don Kyatt Spare Parts celebrated 40 years of service from Andrew Fregonese in November, with Andrew being one of only five staff to have reached the milestone over the company’s 55-year history.
At a small internal get together at Terrain Tamer Hut, located at Don Kyatt Spare Parts’ Melbourne head office, staff gathered to congratulate Andrew, fondly referred to as ‘Frogger’ by colleagues, and heard him speak about his time with the company.
Frogger talked about his time starting out as an Engine Reconditioner in 1984, a trade he had trained in and wanted to put to use, however it was only ten years later that he was called in to help out the busy sales team.
His natural people skills quickly saw him moved to the road where he served as the Victorian sales rep, selling the company’s Terrain Tamer 4WD and Flashlube brands to customers throughout the state.
Lastly, Frogger discussed the relationship he has built with Allan Gray, travelling from state to state to represent Terrain Tamer at the many 4WD shows around the country over the years, and reminisced about some of the characters the two had come across and mischief the two men had gotten up to in their travels.
Don Kyatt Spare Parts General Manager, Brent Hutchinson, also spoke, recognising that “from the beginning, Frogger has always been a favorite with customers and a very likeable, loyal and trustworthy member of the team.”
“Even now, he is in at 7.00am and often the one closing up at night,” Brent said.
Frogger’s son Marcus was also able to attend the presentation recognising his father’s service, while also debuting the cameo role that he is set to play in the new video series the company is set to release in 2025 – Terrain Tamer: The New Build.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Don Kyatt Spare Parts says Frogger’s 40 years of service makes him one of the most experienced Parts Interpreters within the Don Kyatt Spare Parts Tottenham head office team.
