Jo O’Sullivan

Lorraine Humphreys

COMMUNITY BANKING MANAGER

CONSULTANT

JO has more than 21 years experience in specialised areas of banking and nancial services and is community banking manager for one of Australia’s largest National Credit Unions, MECU Limited. “MECU is a leader in socially responsible banking practices and has been recognised nationally and internationally,” she says. “It shares much in common with the community sector, including a shared sense of values and purpose. That’s why we’re committed to meeting the banking needs of the community sector including schools and a host of non-government organisations, charities foundations and ‘affordable housing’ providers. “MECU aims to become the pre-eminent socially responsible banking brand in Australia.” Jo is a member of the ACT council of Save the Children Australia and a board member of Kippax Uniting Care. “I will take the time to learn about your organisation, can offer great rates and products to the community sector while offering services unmatched by our competitors,” she says.

CONSULTING with locally owned recruitment company PCA People is a great opportunity for Lorraine to do what she really enjoys, that is working with people. She says: “I spend a great part of my day talking with clients and interviewing candidates to achieve a suitable placement. So as a people-person this gives me a great sense of fullment and job satisfaction.” With a passion for human development and a strong background in management, learning and development and quality assurance, Lorraine understands the value of working in an area that you really enjoy. “As busy as some days are, we also manage to have fun and celebrate at PCA. Most days I go home feeling like I’ve worked hard, but still achieved. This feeling allows me to then focus my mind on other areas of my life so for me, this is great work-life balance!” “At PCA we offer a high level of client and candidate service and we aim to put the right people in the right job.”

Beatrix Nagy

Sharon Dei Rocini

MANAGING DIRECTOR

BUSINESS MANAGER

BEATRIX Nagy recently opened Nagee Prestige Accommodation and Property Management. Nagee Prestige Accommodation provides a world-class experience for guests staying in one of the Nagee Apartments. Beatrix has been working for leading hotels around the world and was disappointed to nd that many ve-star accommodation providers do not live up to the true ve-star expectation of a hotel. Beatrix carefully selects elegant, upmarket properties and works with property owners to ensure the apartments are well appointed and offer everything a guest would expect form a luxurious hotel and more. But most importantly; Nagee Prestige Accommodation guarantees meticulous cleanliness and trend-setting comfort as its mission is for a guest to feel relaxed and special, whether they are staying for one night or a year. Beatrix also manages unfurnished apartments through Nagee Prestige Property Management guaranteeing unprecedented, benchmark property management service to both owners and tenants.

SHARON Dei Rocini may be the business manager and a shareholder in the Peter Blackshaw Real Estate Inner North & Rural ofce based in Dickson, but she says she’s just a country girl at heart, from Bombala (which, she says, explains her love of customer service!). “I started working in property management doing the book-keeping and quickly realised I loved the challenge of it and loved assisting local and interstate residents nding a place to call home” says the married mother of four, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the ofce (nance, administration and customer service programs) and directly oversees the property management department. “I love the challenge and the diversity of real estate, particularly property management and see the next year as a period of growth for our ofce and an increase in the sales and property management teams,” she says. “There is nothing better than knowing that our customers are satised with the help we have given them”.

Jessica Jones

Tracey Mateer

CONSULTANT

SALES CONSULTANT

PCA People welcomes Jessica Jones to our team of recruiters. She specialises in the private-sector professional and executive recruitment, bringing with her a wealth of experience in similar roles. Jessica moved from Sydney to Canberra in 2009. She has had a successful private-sector career in the nance, legal and IT industries, working with national and international companies. Throughout her career Jessica has developed a deep understanding of what is expected from high-level executives and their support personnel. “My clients are often time poor, so I aim to make their life easier by doing the groundwork for them and providing only the best candidates for interview,” she says. Jessica loves working with people. To her, there is no better feeling than matching the perfect candidate to a client. “PCA holds the same values as I do! We aim to understand the requirements of both the clients and candidates as we believe this is vital to achieving the ‘The Perfect Fit’.”

AFTER spending 20 years working in a range of marketing and PR roles, Tracey decided it was time to do something she was truly passionate about; so two years ago she embarked on a new career as a real estate agent with Peter Blackshaw Dickson. “For the rst time in my life I can put my hand on my heart and say I am truly fullled in my profession. I love the variety real estate provides,” she says. “Real estate isn’t just about bricks and mortar, it’s so much more! We deal with the biggest asset most people will own and every situation and property is unique. I love using my problem-solving and negotiating skills on a daily basis, but I also love knowing I have helped to make what can be a very stressful process easier. “I look forward to building my real estate business into the future and to working hard to create clients for life.”
