Kennards Self Storage 2012 Achiev

“ I enjoy attending the Achievement Dinners. It is one of those few times in the year where you get to see many of the Teams that you would not necessarily be able to meet otherwise. I was proud to see seven of the NZ team make the journey over. My Yammer page was used as the example for holding a social media conversation, and once we (Or I) remembered how to use just the one conversation, it set up a rolling time line of how the night went – the use of Yammer enabled those who could not make it, to still be involved in the night and enjoy the events. Wayne and I played a part with the first ever Kennards Archive Box Challenge. We chose six Team Members from those attending on the night to come up and make as many Archive Boxes in a two minute period, with a different handicap for each participant – i.e. one person had one hand tied up with another team member, one team member had to hold a glass of water and not spill it, another person had to do it blindfolded and one team member even had to attempt making there archive boxes standing backwards – go figure that one!

Anyway, congratulations to all the participants who made at least 1 box, of course a Kiwi won – well done Shane Pearce, alas with some help from me (I had made three boxes before hand)! Well done to all the Team Members and the sites who received awards. It is nice to be acknowledged and be rewarded for good performance. Of particular note was Karina Gardiner from Wanganui receiving an Adding Value Award. Overall, a good night to remember and I urge any Team Member who could not make it to look in the diary for next years event and make the effort to attend – it will be rewarding and well worth it. See you next year!” Andrew Kirkham
