METRICON NEW GEELONG OFFICE

Metricon welcomes MBV CEO to new Geelong offices

In June, Metricon welcomed Master Builders Victoria (MBV) to their new Geelong offices.

Chatting to staff and critical Metricon stakeholders, MBV CEO Rebecca Casson and the MBV team could see firsthand the new facility that is now servicing the Geelong and Surf Coast region.

Simon Taylor, Metricon’s Regional West Manager, was thrilled to be able to welcome Ms Casson to the carefully designed space built over 1000m2.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to give Rebecca and the MBV team a tour of our new Studio M and offices,” he said.

“Taking the time to speak and meet with the team during the current climate was a positive opportunity.

“We have been busy since our recent opening, also launching our latest display at Fyansford, the Artisan, so taking time to meet with Rebecca and talk with the team was fantastic.”

Ms Casson said the meeting with Mr Taylor and his team re-affirmed that Metricon was open for business as usual.

“Showing support following on from the tragic passing of Metricon’s CEO Mario Biasin has been our priority, so this was a great way to do so,” she said.

Ms Casson further urged everyone in the team and the wider building and construction industry to prioritise their mental health.

“From speaking directly with our members, we know that everyone in our industry is feeling the pressure, and it is evident that these pressures are taking a toll on the mental health of many in our sector and their families,” she said.

“While mental health can be complex for some people to discuss, it is vital to keep the communication channels open.

“We are all in this together, and the more we can support each other, the better. “Seeing so many enthusiastic members of Metricon’s Studio M and office staff in Geelong was terrific.

“Thank you to Simon and his team for making us feel so welcome.”
