Kaye Millar

"A Business is only as good as its Staff" "And you were the Best" This statement was said to me a long time ago and I was very proud that I had achieved that esteem in my first boss's eyes. I have strived and endeavoured to maintain that standard of service ever since. After owning and operating 3 different businesses I know the only way to be successful: . Is to identify an individual's needs and expectations. . Be totally committed in achieving the very best results. . And to be totally honest, focused and passionate about what you do for them. All with a genuine smile! I have found the same commitment has taken me a long way in achieving personal gratification in life and in any sports especially golf and bowls. I was very proud to be selected as a junior rep player for Bowls in Canterbury in 2004, and I still enjoy any competition I compete in. If there is anything I can do to assist you, or if you have any questions I can answer please don't hesitate to call me.
