WHO’S WHO

10 QUESTIONS... With Amy Ferguson - Warana Manager, QLD

England, America, France, Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

What/who are you thankful for whilst working for KSS? When I first started with Kennards I had gone through a major life event. It wasn’t until I started at KSS that I really started to grow. This amazing company has helped me grow professionally and personally. PEP was a massive eye opener for me and that was the final line that I needed to cross to continue to grow. So, these are the people in my time of working for KSS that I am truly thankful for: me under his wing and gave me so much support through the years. THQ – My goodness the work they do and what they fix is incredible. I honestly take my hat off to everyone at THQ for everything they do! Geoff Turner – Manager at Kunda Park who I worked with at Warana for a few years and who really helped me grow professionally within KSS. John Colman – Manager at Baringa who started at Warana, who came in and even though no storage experience behind him helped me see different paths and again allowed me to continue to achieve. Kellie Robley – Having my back and seeing how much I had grown, giving me the confidence, and finally, a promotion to Manager after nine years with the company. Nicole Bergan – Keeping me on track and being a great support when needed. Lastly, I’m thankful for Sam Kennard. Without his dedication to continuing his father’s legacy, KSS wouldn’t be what it is today. His vision and values shape what KSS stands for, and being part of that legacy is a big reason why I am so grateful to work for such a well-respected, household name. No, I am not brown-nosing. Glen Bayley – for giving me the chance. Glen D’Souza – Trainer who really took

How long have you been with KSS and what year did you start your journey with us? I have been with KSS for 11 years. My very first day was February 4th, 2014. What centres have you worked at? I have worked at Kunda Park, Warana, Maroochydore, Baringa and Northlakes. We have such a broad range of people, and every day is different. I love meeting new people and learning about peoples walks of life. And honestly how can we not love the people we work with. Over your 11 years with KSS what would be the biggest changes you have seen? I love that KSS has been pretty stream- line through-out the 11 years. The biggest change during that time that has really stuck with me is losing that control of pricing where we adjust the rates ourselves. Name a person in your life who has inspired you both professionally and personally? What do you enjoy most about working at KSS?

Honestly, and so cliché to say, but my parents. I saw how hard they have worked in their lives to ensure a great upbringing for myself and my siblings. They showed me what you can achieve with hard work and dedication. What does Kennards mean to you? To me, Kennards means opportu- nity, growth and belonging. It’s more than just a workplace. It’s a place where I’ve been able to develop both professionally and personally. I genuinely care about the work we do, the people I work with and the values the company stands for. Being part of the Kennards team gives me a real sense of purpose and pride. What activities do you enjoy outside of work? I love going out and exploring and looking from behind the lens of a camera. Where have you travelled to outside of Australia? I have been to many countries, mostly while I was young. Bali, Thailand, Japan, Ireland,
