END OF AN ERA BRINGS NEW BEGINNINGS
4 February 2015
KOMPAN would like to officially announce the retirement of its longstanding Managing Director, Sue Simpson, and the appointment of KOMPAN’s new MD Peter McKewen.
On behalf of the entire KOMPAN group, we would like to officially announce the retirement of our longstanding Managing Director, Sue Simpson. The contribution Sue has made during her exceptional 24 years within the playground industry will stand as a lasting legacy for playgrounds in Australia.
To the benefit of the health and pleasure of more than a generation of children and teenagers, Sue has personally been involved in raising the bar for the playground standard in Australia. In addition, Sue has established a huge number of playgrounds all over the very widespread Australian continent.
Sue attributes her successful career by stating; "as a team we’ve built a beautiful company to be very proud of. Customer service is of paramount importance to our group and with the dedicated colleagues and consultants I have working with me it’s been a win-win situation.
“If I had to nominate one particular ‘high spot’ it would probably be 2011, the year we won the Australian International Design Award for ICON. A close second would be the random calls we have from dedicated clients thanking us for a job well done."
Replacing Sue is KOMPAN’s new Managing Director, Peter McKewen, who joined the company three months ago.
“Joining KOMPAN has been very exciting and I am completely blown away with the stunning play areas we produce every day. Play areas that not only satisfy the high standard of the design fraternity but those of the children and young adults that use them every day where play values actually mean something.”
2015 is set to be an exciting year for KOMPAN, but the company is not giving away too much regarding what it has planned.
“2015 is going to be a landmark year for KOMPAN. We are very excited to be releasing some stunning, innovative new products with high play values – but I can’t give away everything just yet!” said Peter.
