Remote store operator Community Enterprise Queensland (CEQ) has celebrated the passion, dedication and achievements of its store leaders at its inaugural CEQ Managers Gathering in Bamaga and on Horn Island recently.
The event took on the theme of Thrive Together and brought store managers and leadership team members from across Cape York and the Torres Strait for two days of connection, creativity and cultural immersion.
Chief executive officer Michael Dykes said the gathering was an opportunity for the organisation to recognise the hard work of store teams and create a shared vision for the future.
“Our people are the heartbeat of CEQ – their leadership in remote communities is vital to local wellbeing, resilience and prosperity,” he said.
“This gathering was about celebrating our teams, sharing ideas and continuing to build a culture where we care, every day, always.”
There were plenty of local winners at the CEQ Awards Dinner, with the Bamaga IBIS picking up the Outstanding Customer Service category and Soum Saha from the Lockhart River store named the winner of the Team Values Award.
Konio Lovai (Training Award), Daisy Ketchell (Workplace Health and Safety Award), Genevieve Fauid (Store Audit Award) and Tina Asela (Caring, Every Day, Always Award) also collected individual awards at the dinner.
