There are certain business leaders whose
reputations precede them and the opportunity to hear them share their views on
business often too judicious to pass up. Over 80 members and guests did just
that at the first in a series of promotional lunches for the Suncorp Western
Sydney Awards for Business Excellence held at the Parramatta RSL Club on Friday
26th June. John McGrath CEO McGrath Estate Agents spoke
passionately about the growth of his business and the importance of his staff
as well as the importance of customer service. John also spoke about the
importance of maintaining your brand. He also encouraged those present to enter
awards programs to encourage their staff and look at their businesses.
Mr David O'Neill Group General Manager Castle
Hill RSL Club Group said that the Parramatta RSL Club was pleased to join the
list of sponsors of the awards and to become more involved in the Parramatta
Business Community. The Club provided an exceptional venue for the lunch in the
Linden Room and was congratulated on their excellent food and first rate
service. The Chamber can recommend the Club to businesses looking for a venue
for any type of event.
It is this passion for business success, as
exhibited by Mr McGrath, that the Suncorp Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence
search for, recognise, reward and stimulate a focus on. The Awards organising
committee, in asking Mr McGrath to address a 2009 Awards promotional lunch,
felt that businesses in western Sydney would benefit from the wisdom gained
from his success, whilst exhibiting the attributes this year's Awards will be
seeking.
