Arson at Homebush Mobilises Team for Rapid Response cont...

It is impressive when I reflect how quickly and calmly people assumed roles to fix the situation. The team were extremely effective and worked very well together. It was later mentioned that much of the work we have pursued in culture and leadership bubbled to the surface during this event. As a result of the efforts of the team we were able to restore T.H.Q. power and I.T. systems on Saturday afternoon; contact the customers very quickly; initiate clean-up and repair work; and all while managing existing customers.

We even sold boxes and handled enquiries on the day.

I extend a big thank you to all the team that contributed and continue to do so, as we persevere with the make-good.

After

The police continue to investigate this pointless wasteful crime.
