A special celebration was held at Cherbourg last week to mark the first anniversary of the Cherbourg Digital Service Centre, aka the call centre!
Guests included representatives from the centre’s first clients, Fujitsu Asia Pacific, as well as the Minister For Communities and Housing, Digital Economy and the Arts Leeanne Enoch.
Cherbourg Mayor Elvie Sandow said 12 months ago she had predicted Cherbourg would get QBuild as a client for the call centre. That had now happened, meaning an extra 20 jobs on top of the 10 already in place.
“I have a passion for employment for local people,” Mayor Sandow said.
“The more employment for our local people, the more our families and our community are happy.”
Minister Enoch began her speech with an acknowledgment in Jandai, the language of her Quandamooka people.
She said the one-year anniversary was very important, and that Cherbourg was “leading the way” for Queensland.
“You are the leading light now for many more who will see that this is possible … you’ve done the work, you’ve made everybody very, very proud,” Minister Enoch said.
Fujitsu Asia Pacific Chief Executive Officer Graeme Beardsell said his company was pleased to be a small part of the successful partnership with Cherbourg.
He said Fujitsu was using technology to open the door of inclusiveness.
Mr Beardsell especially thanked the “first eight” employees of the call centre who have been delivering services to Australia Post.
“The best rating team across the Asia Pacific is this team at Cherbourg,” he said.
Call centre manager Emma Turaganivalu said hearing these words made her and her team so proud.
“It makes us work a little harder and stand a little taller,” she said.
