Congratulations to all the Freedom Certificate and Freedom Award recipi- ents for this year. I would like to make special note to the Rookie Award presented to Maria Garcia from Warrawong. The Rookie Award is the recognition of a new Team Member to the business, who displays or makes a significant contribution, which is well beyond what we would expect, for the time they have been with us. The nomination this year for Maria was outstanding – she started her first day working after Hub Training at a brand new site on her own, when her Manager suffered an unexpected medical event.

A t times customers request internal unit walls to be taken down. Our aim is always to rent the spaces as is and removing walls is a last resort after careful consideration. Traditionally, if walls were removed they were stored at our cost and often lost over time.

Discuss this with your Operations Manager if you want to explore this option for securing walls at your centre. HOT TIPS It is challenging enough starting at a centre, let alone without a Manager at a brand new one! Maria took it in her stride and not only opened the site, she ensured the new Warrawong site was successful. Andrew Kirkham NZ Operations Manager
