We believe and acknowledge we have both opportunity and a responsibility to use our knowledge and capabilities to make a difference within our local community.
Our approach to social responsibility includes operating our business in ways that are responsible, empowering our people to give back to our local community, and aligning with both our clients and other stakeholders to partner on CSR initiatives.
Such commitment, focus and resolve is not something new to our business, our people, nor our community. Leigh Hartog, our Managing Director and owner since 1992, is a dedicated philanthropist who has worked selflessly on establishing a robust workplace culture underpinned by an awareness, respect and appreciation for the community. Proudly, Leigh’s long-standing focus and achievements were recognised by Penrith City Council in 2020 which saw him awarded the very rare and prestigious honour of
“Civic Recognition of Honoured Citizen of the City of Penrith”
We recognize that we are on a privileged and enduring journey, remaining steadfast in our wholehearted pursuit of creating positive and enduring change.
