Camco Spring Edition

What’s New at Camco… Winter Edition...Welcome to the Spring (almost Summer) Edition of “What’s New at Camco”. These past few months havebeen particularly challenging as the Camco family mourns the losses of two of its long serving andmuch-loved team members. Mick Kelly, an inaugural member and John Froscio (aka “Mr Millimetre”), werepart of the Camco furniture for over 15 years, both passed within a week of each other after long battles withillness. Both men were a huge part of our daily lives and their loss has deeply affected all those who knewthem. As we head into the busy run to Christmas, when deadlines dominate, and stress affects so many, thepassing of Mick and John serves as a timely reminder to reflect on the year that has been and focus on thethings around you that matter most. Our thoughts are with Mick’s wife Leonie (also a member of the Camcofamily for over 10 years) and John’s family Jo, Adam and Alice. As the end of another year approaches, Iwould also like to thank all of our loyal clients, subcontractors and suppliers for their ongoing support in whatcan be a very challenging and demanding industry. Enjoy the Spring season and I wish you all the best for theremainder of 2018.In-house News...Spring has sprung us with some unusual weather this year, one minute its hot, the next we are experiencing astorm. Since the last issue we have added a few employees to the Camco team. We would like to welcomeJulia Puz as Accounts Payable, Nicola Alfano as Payroll, Zeb Kamen as Project Engineer and Matthew Smithas Undergraduate Project Engineer. Each new colleague brings a different approach and insight into thebusiness which is always welcome as we strive for excellence.Along with the new faces, we would also like to recognise theones who have been around for a while. Site ManagersKym Manouge and Phil Nicholson celebrated 15 years at Camcoalong with Leading Hand Carlene Hurst who celebrated 10 years and Labourer Jason Ireland who hascelebrated 7 years. We are truly grateful to those who have chosen to take their professional journey with usand are delighted to celebrate such milestones with each and every one of them. We would like to say congratulations and “farewell for now” to Melanie Lane while she embarks on the journey of a lifetime called motherhood. Melanie and Danwelcomed happy and healthy baby boy Billy Gary Newsham on Monday 19thNovember at 6:43am. Melanie will be missed, and we wish her all the best while she’s onmaternity leave. On Monday 26th November Lucia, Liz, Ashlee and Temeka attended the 2018 Women in Civil Festive Lunch at the National Wine Centre. It proved to be a very inspirational afternoon with guest speaker – world and Commonwealth Games champion netballer Michelle Den Dekker speaking. It was wonderful to hear herjourney of netball player, coach, mentor, public figure and mother and howshe manages it all in an ever-evolving world. A speech that had youcaptivated from the very first word, speaking about her personal philosophyand how staying true to your values and beliefs is important.

Camco Management System (CMS) UpdateSince the last newsletter, we’ve experienced some ups and downs. Unfortunately,we’ve recently experienced a lost time injury. We don’t have many LTIs but when wedo, I feel we all could have done something better (or at least different). In fact,injuries in general, account for 24% of our reported incidents. While it is understood mostof these are not much more than first aid on-site or a brief visit to the doctor, they arenone-the-less, a concern. As stated on numerous previous occasions, our incident reporting philosophy is for“no blame”. When something goes wrong, we look for something in our systems and processes that has notworked the way it should.Incidents by type 2017/18A recent review of our incidents reveals that property damage (mainly service strikes) are on the increase. It’simportant to note that on every occasion, “dial-before-you-dig” information was available and up to date;and service locations were undertaken by a qualified “Locator”. This raises the question of how, with all thisinformation, are service strikes still occurring? This is the focus of our analysis and improvement processes forthe foreseeable future.TraineeshipsWe are happy to announce the addition to our team of another causal employee through the City ofPlayford’s “Pathways to Employment” initiative. Further placements are also due in the new year throughRenewal SA’s “Training & Employment Initiatives (Works Program)”. As a South Australian owned and operat-ed business, Camco is proud to partner with our clients in such initiatives especially because they directly ben-efit South Australian people and ultimately, the local economy….

He quickly became the sort of person a family business is built on – hard working and loyal to the core. He spent his first 7 years as a Site Manager before purchasing his own truck and excavator. After 3 years he was joined by his wife Leonie, together they were a formidable team on any work site. Mick was the quintessential team member, seeing his role in being “a part of something” as special. He also kept things very grounded, reminding all of us that things change in the business landscape, but we should always stay true to our core values.John joined the Camco family around 15 years ago after spending 27 years workingfor another family business, Ernest Saunders Real Estate (who happened to be owned by Chris’s wife Sarah’s Grandfather). He quickly adapted to his new industry adopting the nickname “Mr. Millimeter”. John was very resourceful and could turn his hand to any problem. No one could forget his “bucket of tools” which took many years for him to let go. His ring tone, “Always look on the bright side of life” summed him up. Johns wife Jo would like to say a special thankyou to all those that attended John’s service. Both men were great team players and much loved Camco family members. They will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
