latest two
relocated stores
Ipswich switches places Welcome back Windsor!
Officeworks Ipswich (Qld) officially reopened its doors to
the public on Wednesday 15 August, with Wardy hosting
the opening ceremony. Melissa Rose (Store Business
Manager) took charge in leading the store team in
preparation for the day. The new Officeworks Windsor (Qld), officially
opened in their new location on Thursday 20 September
2018. Samuel Utihol (Store Business Manager)
conducted the opening ceremony, with Wardy hosting
the proceedings.
During the opening ceremony, Melissa presented a
$2000 cheque to both the Ipswich Hospital Foundation
and Ipswich Community Youth Service. As it turns out,
both parties have previously worked closely together to
help make a difference in the Ipswich community, which
aligns closely with Officeworks own values. Sam and the team selected Wilston Grange
Kindergarten and Sporting Wheelies Disabled
Association as their two causes to receive $2000
each. Sam and Wardy welcomed the two community
groups representatives and presented them with
their donations.
Justin Lockery (Coordinator) praised his team’s efforts
in preparation for the event. “The team devoted a lot
of extra hours in helping run stock and making sure the
store was well presented for the opening ceremony.”
He also praised surrounding Officeworks stores who
helped support the day, specifically Officeworks
Woolloongabba, Oxley and Browns Plains. Sam had plenty of praise for his team. “They were
organised and willing to work overtime to ensure all
planograms, stock and areas of the store looked well
presented for opening. The team worked tirelessly in
preparation for opening and went above and beyond
their duties to achieve a really great result. I am
extremely proud of them.”
Speaking of his team, Justin said “they were amazing
with the preparation that took place, as well as the
efforts on the day. They really went above and beyond
their duties to help out. It was a fantastic effort.” Sam also gave a shout out to surrounding stores who
provided great support in the lead up to opening day.
Fun fact: Fun fact:
The Ipswich City Council is a big supporter of the
Australian film industry. The Railway Man, Mystery
Road, Parer’s War and Savages Crossing are just
some of the movies shot in Ipswich in recent years. Windsor is named after Windsor in England, which
is the site of the British royal family’s Windsor Castle.
The community of Windsor often showcases the rich
history and connection it has with the Windsor Castle.
