06.01.2022 Congratulations to Fraser MacDonald who today was awarded the Alan Tough OAM Award for Employee of the Year in Westcare Industries Nedlands. Fraser quietly and most diligently gets on with his work regardless of the distractions and dramas around him. He is always courteous to all his colleagues. He has completed 25 years with Westcare. He is so quiet that people don't know he is there but he is always beavering away to get his work done. He never shows mood changes, is always on time - is a pleasure to have around. He responds well to the friendliness of staff but doesn't push his way into the foreground.
