A message from Paul Francis

As we head toward the end of the year, I want to talk about one thing that matters most right now, focus! 

We’ve had two recordable injuries recently that broke what had been an outstanding run for us. Both incidents were avoidable, and both came down to a loss of focus in the moment.  

Our business performance has been incredibly strong with plenty of work locked in and coming up, and while that’s something we should all be proud of, it’s also when we’re most likely to get comfortable and take our foot off the gas.  

With summer holidays coming and plenty of distractions around, we need to make a conscious effort to focus on focus and give every task our full attention. 

Safety sits at the core of how we operate, and getting back on track starts with the basics, slowing down and being fully present before you start a job. If we can focus on focus, consistently and intentionally, we will turn this around. 

We recently held our AGM, and while I won’t take you through all the details, it was a great chance to reflect on a strong year and the opportunities ahead. We grew our revenue, expanded our workforce, secured record levels of new work and strengthened our capability through key acquisitions. We also exceeded our Stretch RAP targets, lifted our Indigenous employment and continued to make a positive impact in our communities, all thanks to the effort and hard work you put in every day. 

And finally, a big congratulations to Quentin Radomiljac on 20 years with Monos. That is a significant milestone and a real reflection of his dedication over the years. Well done, Quinno! 

Let’s focus on focus, look out for each other and finish the year strong! 

Cheers.
