Worker Sets New Benchmark For Service

This month factory workers at North Ryde were recognised for their years of service.

New Horizons, a local Not-For-Profit providing employment opportunities for 70 people with a disability, presented 11 employees at its packaging facility with a certificate of appreciation based on the number of years of service.

“We give special recognition and thanks for every 5 years of service” explained Garry Pearce, Business Services Manager at New Horizons.

“This year one employee set a new benchmark for New Horizons. Rosalyn Leo was the first person in the company’s history to achieve the milestone of 25 years of service” Garry added.

New Horizons’ General Manager, Judi Higgin explained what else makes Rosalyn’s achievement so unique.

“In today’s labour market a couple of years seems to be a long time at one company. Reaching such an impressive milestone is something Rosalyn can be immensely proud of” Ms. Higgin said.

Three employees were recognised for five years of service, two reached the ten year milestone, three others celebrated 15 years of employment, and two more for 20 years.

CEO, Stephen Kinkead, congratulated the employees for their achievement. “Our employees play an important role helping make the packaging facility a success. More importantly, each contributes to making New Horizons such a great place to work”
