🌟✨ Celebrating Matariki at GBC ✨🌟 Today our team came together to celebrate Matariki with a delicious pot luck shared lunch. 🍲💛

Sharing kai was the perfect way for our GBC whānau to connect, celebrate and enjoy a table full of amazing dishes - from family favourites to winter comfort food and sweet treats. 😋

There was plenty of kōrero and laughs, and loads of food to keep us all fuelled for the rest of the day (and probably tomorrow 😆) … although productivity after lunch may be questionable! 😉🌠

A big thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make the day so special 💚

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori - Happy Matariki from Team GBC! ✨

🎉 Today we celebrated a very special milestone - Meg’s FIVE years with GBC! 💚🥂

Meg joined the practice in May 2021 as an Admin Assistant before making the move into the Accounting team as a Trainee in 2022. While stepping into a new role can be daunting, Meg embraced the challenge and has continued to grow ever since. 🌱✨

From Accounting Trainee to Client Manager in 2024, Meg has consistently taken on new opportunities, expanded her skills, and become a familiar and trusted face with both the team and clients alike. Her passion for growth has also led her to pursue a Bachelor in Accounting, which she is currently completing. 📚👏

Congratulations, Meg, on this amazing milestone - GBC is very lucky to have you as part of the team! 🎉👏
