Frances is all smiles
By Lea Parkes At the beginning of May, GC&M News reported on the wonderful success of both Frances Ross, the store manager, and the Shell Beerwah team’s awards as part of the annual Viva Energy (Shell) Conference. As part of the awards Frances was invited to attend Smiling Stars, the global Shell reward and recognition event that is a gathering of staff from all the top performing Shell sites from around the world. “It is a celebration, a thank you from Shell and an opportunity to network and get to know our colleagues from the many different parts of the globe,” Frances said. The event saw 1,200 attendees from 65 countries come together for the first time in Australia. Although Francis didn’t get to travel to the other side of the world for the event, she said Sydney was a fantastic destination. “I was absolutely thrilled to get to experience Sydney alongside our overseas visitors. The opening event took place at Luna Park, the conference was held at the Opera House and the main events were held in the Darling Harbour area.” As part of the event, all the top achievers competed against each other to take out the prize for the best in the world. Frances said the highlight for her was representing the fabulous team at Shell Beerwah. She was also really pleased to be able to represent Australia with her fellow team members and to have the opportunity to meet people doing the same as she does on a daily basis from across the world. “We have met many people who we now call friends. “We are hoping to be invited to the event in 2020 that is being held in London. The countdown is on … let’s see if we can do it again next year,” Frances said.
