Andrew’s son Jake Jenkins gave a speech at the morning tea, congratulating him on creating a great workplace and successful career.
“You should be extremely proud of the business you have built, it really is a great place to work and that’s due solely to people that work here, even though I hated coming here after school,” he said.
“I’ve only worked here for just under two years, but I have spent my whole life watching you, and your hard work and dedication is inspiring, and I feel privileged that I get to come to work with you every day.”

Andrew also said a few words, thanking everyone who has contributed to the success of the business.
Director Amanda Ramsay said the milestone was truly special, and she was privileged to have been a part of the team for over 13 years, becoming a partner in the business in 2023.
