O‘Keeffe says that as one of the first convention centres to resume operations during the pandemic, it has learnt to be agile to successfully deliver hundreds of events in a safe environment.
The centre’ recruitment processes have been streamlined with successful applicants offered the position at the conclusion of an interview, wherever possible, as well as providing an employment contract within 48 hours.
Separately, ASM Global also has launched a virtual jobs fair to fill about 1000 positions across the company’s domestic and international venues. ASM Global (APAC) chairman Harvey Lister says the fair was “ once in a lifetime opportunity for jobseekers.”
SHINER FOR CHARITY
Coffee king Phillip Di Bella has been sporting a black eye this week, but he hastens to add it’s nothing to do with his political sparring partner Annastacia Palaszczuk.
“The guy I was sparring with before got a blood nose but the next guy went in hard,” says Di Bella, who has been boxing since his youth.
Phil Di Bella’s shiner in aid of charity
Di Bella says his son’s mates at school joke that the injury came from the Premier, with whom he has had a well-publicised fight over the handling of Covid-19.
Di Bella was a keynote speaker at the launch of David Goodwin’s Business Union this week. Goodwin, a Brisbane accountant and international cargo tycoon, wants the union to give a voice to the forgotten people.
Membership, he says, will be made up chiefly of the small, family-owned businesses who are the engine room of the Australian economy. “Small business makes big business happen,’’ he says.
SPORTING GLORY
Two Brisbane property identities will be putting their bodies on the line on Saturday all in the name of charity.
Rob Flux from Property Developer Network and Harcourts Property Centre’s Sam Delvin will take to the field at Suncorp Stadium as part of the Vintage Reds team against the Tongan invitational side .
The opportunity to relive sporting glory for the executives, both rugby tragics, came after Triple M Breakfast hosts Greg “Marto” Martin and Margaux Parker auctioned off places in the Vintage Reds side, raising an astonishing $24,000 for UNICEF Australia’s Tongan Recovery Appeal.
Former Qallaby Nathan Sharpe will among the rugby greats taking to the field Saturday.
Flux led the bidding, keen to resurrect his rugby career, but noted “the body is a bit brittle and I’ve had three or four knee reconstructions, but this is all for a great cause.”
Delvin has something to prove with brother being First IV coach with Toutai Kefu at Iona College last year.
The pair traded bids until coming to a gentlemen’s agreement to each buy a place in the team for $12,000. The duo will take to the field with some of the greats of Australian rugby including Lote Tiquri, Digby Ioane, George Smith, James Horwill, Drew Mitchell and Nathan Sharpe.
