Spring 2012

Surat Basin Energy and Mining Expo Wealth Experience was a part of the Surat Basin Energy and Mining Expo held at the Toowoomba Showgrounds on 20 and 21 June, hosting a stand in the main pavilion.

The event was a great success, with our stand holding a Business Card Draw. Every two hours a business card was drawn from the bowl to win a prize, with the main prize being an iPad. Our lucky iPad winner was Brook Quinn – congratulations!

RBS Morgans Top 10 Well done to the Toowoomba RBS Morgans team, who were named in the Top 10 RBS Morgans firms in Australia for the month of June 2012!

Congratulations Jason! Jason Clewley of our Toowoomba office has recently completed both the education and practical experience components of the CPA Program and has advanced to CPA status. Well done Jason!

Gold Coast Marathon The Gold Coast Marathon was held on 1 July. Conditions were perfect and there were approximately 10 000 participants, including Kym Naumann of our Toowoomba office (who competed in the 10km) and Amanda Kenafake, Dan Cuthbert and Toni Jackson of our Stanthorpe office (who competed in the 21.1km half marathon), who were all very pleased with their results.

It was the first time Amanda, Toni and Kym had competed in this event, so they should be very proud of their achievements.

Baby News! The month of August delivered two little bundles of joy - Jane Kerridge of our Stanthorpe office and partner Scott became proud new parents of Benjamin Robert Kerridge, as well as our HR manager Tricia Jenkins and partner Nathan, with the early but safe arrival of Darcy Bryn Jenkins. Mums and bubs are all doing very well. Congratulations girls!

Also, Friday 7 September was the last day of work (for the moment!) for Chloe Morello of our Stanthorpe office as she departs on maternity leave for baby number three, due in early October. We wish Chloe all the best!
