S T A F F N E W S Our colleague Donna Malone will be retiring at the end of June after a long and successful career in the Panel industry. Donna’s first involvement with panels dates all the way back to 1989, when she started working at Bondor, then part of the James Hardie Group. Her next role was in the contracting side of coldroom construction with Roy Schultz and Max Burns at Schultz Burns Projects, a forerunner to today’s SBP Australia. By 1999 Donna was back at Bondor, now under foreign ownership as part of the Metecno Group, before joining the sales team at Askin. From 2016 onwards, Donna has been an integral member of the Delta Panels Sales team, specialising in coldroom construction and servicing the needs of a loyal group of local builders Donna’s bubbly personality along with her mother-hen approach to housekeeping around the office will be sorely missed. She has continuously made the office a nicer, friendlier place to work. We know that everyone who’s been associated with Donna over her long career joins us in wishing her good health, happiness and a very fulfilling retirement. FAREWELL TO DONNA MALONE: A DELTA PANELS LEGEND RETIRES We are pleased to announce that Connor McLellan will be expanding his internal sales role to ensure that all of Donna Malone’s customers continue to receive the hands-on level of service they have become accustomed to. Connor continues a family tradition as his father, Richard McLellan who is the Delta Panels Sales representative based in NSW, has had a long association with the panel industry dating back to 1987 when he started in the industry straight out of school. Since moving into internal sales in mid-2023, Connor has impressed everyone with his diligent approach to customer service and excellent product knowledge, accumulated by working through a series of product-based jobs within our manufacturing facility. Previously Connor has worked as a Panel Machine Operator, Quality Control Supervisor and Testing Technician for the NATA approved in-house laboratory. Outside of work, Connor is an avid gamer and is very proud of the old Bedford van that he has meticulously restored. Please wish Connor all the best in his sales career.
