The Point Force Press

Welcome to the September edition of The Point Force Press. With Point Force Group turning nine this month, it's a good moment to stop and look at the people who got us here, and this issue is all about them. We're celebrating a milestone, welcoming some new faces, sending off a familiar one and spending a day on the golf course.

Nine years ago, Point Force Group started with a simple goal, connecting the right people to the right projects. Today, that goal hasn't changed, even as we've grown across multiple divisions and states.
None of this happens without the people who've been part of the journey, our team, our clients, and everyone who's trusted us to get the job done.

To mark the occasion, the team got together for an evening at a paint & sip event, swapping the tools and hi-vis for paintbrushes and some team bonding outside of the office. It was a great chance to celebrate the milestone together.
Here's to 9 years, and to everyone who's helped us get here.
Each month we take a moment to recognise the individuals who have gone above and beyond for their team, their clients, and the people they work alongside every day. We're proud to shine a spotlight on members of the Point Force team who have consistently demonstrated exactly what it means to represent this company at its best.

This month, we're celebrating Sleiman.
Sleiman is known across the team for being an incredibly hard worker, the kind of person who's always reliable, always willing to help out wherever he's needed, and never one to complain, even when the job isn't easy.
That kind of attitude doesn't go unnoticed. Sleiman is a great asset to the team, and we genuinely appreciate everything he brings to the job, day in and day out.
Congrats, Sleiman, well deserved. 👏

Big shoutout to Liam!
We recently supported Liam in gaining his forklift ticket, adding another skill to his toolkit and opening up more opportunities on-site.
Liam’s always ready to get stuck in, and it’s great to see the team continuing to upskill and grow with us.
Well done, Liam, keep up the great work! 👏

We’re delighted to welcome Leanne to the Point Force team as a Recruitment Consultant, joining our Point Force Traffic division in Victoria as our Traffic team continues to grow.
With hands-on experience in the field as a Traffic Controller, Leanne brings strong practical knowledge of on-site traffic operations, and now uses that experience to bridge the gap between site ops, client needs and workforce requirements, working closely with clients and candidates to match the right people to the right projects, creating safe, compliant and positive outcomes. Welcome to the team, Leanne!

This month we say a fond farewell to Keeva. Having Keeva in the office has made a real difference, and she'll be missed by everyone in the VIC office and her Point Force Traffic clients. The good news is she's not leaving Point Force, she's heading back into the field as a Traffic Controller, so we're sure we'll still be seeing plenty of her.
Thank you for everything you've brought to the team while you've been in the office, Keeva. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter.

Last week, we were proud to sponsor the 14th hole, a par 5 longest drive competition, at the Emajin Golf AFL Day, held at the iconic Kingston Heath Golf Club.

Events like this are a great chance to step away from the desk and off site, and connect with the wider community in a different setting. It was a great hole to be involved with, made all the more challenging with the added edge of the longest drive competition.

We were also lucky enough to play a round alongside AFL and Geelong legend Tom Hawkins, a great addition to the group and a memorable day out on one of Melbourne's best courses.
Thanks to Emajin Golf for putting on a fantastic event, we're already looking forward to next year.


This month we're heading north to catch up with Euan from our Queensland team. Euan came to Point Force with a background in labour hire that goes back to his uni days. We asked him what makes a great client partnership, why Queensland is such an exciting place to be working right now, and what he gets up to away from work.
How long have you been working in the construction and labour hire industry, and what initially drew you to this field?
I have worked in labour hire for the best part of my working life. This journey has been split between working in hospitality labour hire during my time at university, and more recently within the construction sector since moving to Australia 15 months ago.
What initially drew me to this industry was the people-focused nature of the work. I enjoy building relationships with both clients and workers, understanding what each project needs, and finding the right people to help get the job done safely and efficiently.
What do you find most rewarding about your role?
I am a very people-oriented person; therefore, I thoroughly enjoy the relationship aspect of the role. Watching new relationships grow and knowing I helped foster them gives me a great sense of satisfaction and pride. I also enjoy the strategic aspect of the role. When making decisions, quite often there are several variables that affect an outcome, such as deadlines, preferences, client requirements, and current relationships. I enjoy this strategic aspect of the role, especially considering the social leverage involved.
I also place a lot of value on the fact our work completed is tangible. I love going to site and seeing the contribution our team has made to a project. I also love the collaborative aspect, knowing we are selecting and appointing quality staff who create value and can assist the other trades on site well.
What does a strong and successful client partnership look like to you?
To me, a strong client partnership comes down to trust, communication and reliability. I want our clients to know that they can call me when they need something and I’ll do everything I can to get it sorted quickly. It’s also about understanding their business and projects, not just filling jobs. This is so I can anticipate what they’re going to need and provide the right people for the job. Over time, I think a successful partnership is when you become someone the client can genuinely rely on and they see you as an extension of their own team.
Why is now an exciting time to be working in the Queensland construction industry?
I think it’s an exciting time to be in the Queensland construction industry because there’s a huge amount of work happening across the state. We’ve got major infrastructure projects, housing, transport, energy and the lead-up to 2032 all driving demand for construction workers. Because of this growth, there are always new projects and clients to work with, and we have a real opportunity to help businesses find the people they need to keep those projects moving.
Being a UK citizen working in QLD, I am really enjoying meeting and engaging with Australian people. I really value these new social connections and am enjoying the experience of working with the Australian staff, clients, and local businesses. QLD is also a very multicultural state, and so I am enjoying collaborating with those from differing backgrounds and helping achieve mutual business needs together.
Outside of work, what are a few things that people might not know about you?
I have always enjoyed adventure and the outdoors. Before moving to Australia, I spent 2 years living and working in Whistler, Canada. There, I skied all winter and mountain biked all summer. This passion for sport and adventure also extends to trail and endurance running.
I really enjoy the sense of adventure running gives you, especially when travelling to new destinations. I have decided to combine this love for travelling and sport together and made it my personal mission to complete a marathon in every country I visit.
Having completed 6 already, I believe it has been a great way of exploring and experiencing new places you may not have otherwise. This was particularly true when I completed Barcelona Ironman, as it was a great test of our fitness and we were able to explore many quiet coastal towns over the course of the route.
