As part of our centenary year, the O'Brien® team across the country have committed to our community giving program called "100 Ways of Giving Back" with the specific target of supporting 100 charities through our fund-raising efforts. ⭐️🙌 During the month of June, we partnered with Camp Quality for the Coffee for a Cause campaign, to raise funds that are aimed at bringing joy and providing support to young lives affected by cancer. Across every O’Brien® division, our many Auto Service Centres, and our busy Head Office, our teams rallied staff and customers to make a donation to Camp Quality while enjoying a coffee. We are deeply appreciative of the generous donations from all of those that contributed and are proud to have raised approximately $7,000! Here's how this money helps Camp Quality: ⭐️ $39 provides children with laughter and a fun activity (e.g. Flying Fox) at our Family or Kid's Camp ⭐️ $140 allows a child and their sibling to go on Kid's Camp providing laughter, smiles and unforgettable memories ⭐️ $250 helps a family take a break from cancer and get some respite and reconnection at one of our family getaways If you’d like to join with us to support Camp Quality, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gp97hfwn #OOOOBrien #100yearsofobrien #ObrienGlass #Experts #Givingback

After nearly 17 years leading our wonderful Australian organisation O’Brien, I’m delighted to share that I’m starting a new position as Executive Vice President - Commercial and CCX at Safelite US. Thanks to all my colleagues in Australia for their support, friendship and effort over many years to create a world class service organisation and thanks to my new US colleagues for their welcome. Thanks also to many people here, at Belron and also at home in Manly, that helped make this happen.
