Welcome to your<br />
new look<br />
newcrossnews!<br />
Have you noticed we’ve given Newcross News a re-boot for the<br />
latest issue? We’ve listened to your feedback and evolved your<br />
magazine so it’s more interesting, informative and fun. There are<br />
new features to discover including practical tips when caring for<br />
someone with dementia and how to be food smart at work.<br />
This month we recognise the contribution of the longest serving<br />
Newcross staff members. Those of you who have been with us<br />
for over 5, 10 and 15 years have received special awards as<br />
a small gesture of thanks for your dedication and service.<br />
Meeting one particular award-winner, Ivy Davenport, was<br />
especially poignant. I had the pleasure of interviewing her in the<br />
Torquay branch 15 years ago!<br />
We also recognise our healthcare heroes this month as we say<br />
a heartfelt thank you and well done to Zibby Kruk (HCA) and<br />
Sandra Watson (RGN) for their excellence in care. You have<br />
exemplified the standard of care we originally dreamed of when<br />
Newcross began, and on behalf of the clients you’ve worked<br />
with, thank you.<br />
It’s testament to each and every one of you who uphold the<br />
vision of excellence in care that Stephen and I imagined<br />
originally, Newcross has grown to over 50 branches and over<br />
5,500 staff. These 20 years have been a fantastic journey and<br />
I’m immensely proud.<br />
Here’s to the next 20 years!<br />
