Excellence in Customer Service
Lorna Goulding
Hi Tec Aerials

Lorna’s role is far more than taking orders, for many customers it is first understanding their problem and helping get them to a solution.
For Hi-Tec Aerials, almost no two customers have the same requirements. Lorna is the front line working out customer requirements, matching this up to a product and suggesting a customisation to improve the fit for the customer.
Customers often speak highly of being able to pick up the phone, get Lorna on the other end, work out the last bit of what they need and have their order underway with confidence.

Rising Star
Cameron Jolly
Outback Communications

Cameron is now a well-rounded installation technician with experience in all aspects of Outback Communications business. He often is left to self-manage large fleet roll outs. We frequently receive positive feedback from customers about his workmanship and easy-going nature. Cameron actively contributes with input into designs for new builds, and suggestions for alternative approaches to tasks that make life easier.
