The Chief Executive Officer of “Local Buy<\/a><\/strong>” – \u00a0the Local Government Association of Queensland’s procurement services company – travelled to Kingaroy last week to recognise two South Burnett council employees.<\/p>\n

Mr Tim Rose praised Gary Wall, General Manager of Finance and Information Services, and Maurie McGuire, Program Director Flood Restoration, for their efforts during the South Burnett’s flood recovery.<\/p>\n

The duo were presented with the Queensland Procurement Professional Award\u00a0at the annual Procurement Gala Dinner in Brisbane earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though Gary and Maurie had received their award, we wanted to recognise their flood recovery efforts with the councillors, general managers and council staff,\u201d \u00a0Mr Rose said.<\/p>\n

SBRC CEO Ken McLoughlin said the Flood Recovery team had\u00a0worked smoothly together to help rebuild the road network in the region.<\/p>\n

Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said councillors and staff \u00a0had been unable to attend the Procurement\u00a0Gala Dinner so it was a great opportunity “to share in their well-deserved recognition”.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of Council were very proud to see Maurie and Gary receive their award. They are both the epitome\u00a0of professionalism and run a very efficient team,\u201d Cr Kratzmann said.<\/p>\n
