It is with great pride that Markitforce would like to announce that we are a finalist in 2 different categories in this year’s South Western Business Awards.

The awards ceremony is being held on the evening of Friday 28^th September with Markitforce booking 2 tables of 8.

The business culture is one of sharing success with staff, and as a result, Alan and wife Anita have kindly extended the invitation to members of the senior management team as well as recent employees of the month.

We will be sure to update you on our “hopeful” success and here’s to a great night out with the TEAM!

What is a BHAG you may ask? Big Hairy Angry Gorilla? Not quite… it stands for BIG Hairy Audacious GOAL! A goal that will be achieved in 10 years’ time.

Further to an off-site 2 day Management Workshop which entailed setting the strategy for the business for the next 1, 3 and 10 years, it was agreed that Markitforce’s BHAG is 15 FOOTBALL FIELDS OF WAREHOUSE SPACE!

To communicate this goal and to engage the entire business, a launch party was held on Friday 8^th June, promoting all things Football!

BBQ Breakfast, Goal Kicking Competitions, Footy Passing Competitions and Penalty Shootouts were just a few of the fun activities that the entire business participated in.

Alan Higgins presented a full summary of the 2 day Workshop and staff were given branded Markitforce Stress Footballs and Flags with the tag line – “Kicking for Growth with Markitforce!”

One staff member after the 1.5 hour launch party said “This is so exciting! I can’t wait to be part of this growth journey and the opportunities it will bring…”

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this event so successful!

Congratulations to our triathletes who participated in the Sydney Nissan/BRW Corporate Triathlon, Australia’s premier annual corporate sporting event.
In our second year of participation, we cheered on four teams into victory in a 400m swim, 8km cycle and 4km run. The race was held in picture perfect weather conditions which helped keep spirits high as all contestants completed the challenge in 60 minutes or under.
We are over the moon with this year’s performance, especially for our very own Minister for Fun, Alan Higgins who overcame the anguish of his knee injury, and completed all three stages with endurance and determination. What a team player!
Hats off to team Chiefs, Cowboys, Indians and our combined team of suppliers and clients. Keep up with the training for next year’s event!
