We're incredibly proud of you, Natasha. 🤩

Celebrating 30 years with Bevan McLuskie! 🎉

We recently celebrated Bevan's 30 years of service with a surprise morning tea. Since 1996, Bevan’s gone from keen young tradie to a trusted Site Manager, known for his practical approach, calm under pressure, and ability to connect with everyone on site.

A true concrete and structures expert (how's that cake?!), his experience and support for others have helped shape strong teams and great outcomes across three decades.

Thanks for everything you contribute Bevan, we're lucky to have you! 🤩
