We\u2019re excited to announce our wonderful virtual receptionist Samantha Martinez is the winner of our inaugural \u2018Win a Trip to Australia\u2019 competition.<\/p>\n
Samantha will be going on a trip-of-a-lifetime to visit the Sydney and Queensland offices of our Australian parent company, OfficeHQ<\/a>. She\u2019ll spend time with our Australian team members and also have personal time off to go sightseeing.<\/p>\n Will Sam swim with the whale sharks in the Ningaloo Reef, explore the Daintree Rainforest, visit Australia Zoo to cuddle up next to a koala or hand feed a kangaroo? Maybe she\u2019ll take in the action of an Australian rugby match or visit the breathtakingly beautiful Blue Mountains.<\/p>\n Samantha says: \u201cI\u2019m so excited I won the competition. I can\u2019t wait to visit Australia!\u201d<\/p>\n Our amazing team of US virtual receptionists are always focused on providing a premium service and experience for all callers. As a way of maintaining our high standards, receptionists are measured on various quality metrics.<\/p>\n As an extra way of showing our appreciation, we decided to run a competition. Winning a trip to Australia was suggested because, while our US operations are based in Phoenix, Arizona<\/a>, we\u2019re part of the OfficeHQ group whose global headquarters are based in Australia. (We also have UK and America operations.)<\/p>\n With a strong bond between the countries, we thought our US virtual receptionists would love the opportunity to visit Australia.<\/p>\n The competition ran between December 2017 and March 2018. Success along the way meant additional tickets in the competition raffle.<\/p>\n Our CFO, Ryan Mitchell, flew to the US and announced Samantha as the winner this week.<\/p>\n Ryan said: \u201cCongratulations Samantha! Well deserved, what an exciting opportunity to travel to the other side of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n David Atkinson, our CEO added: \u201dOur receptionists are one of our biggest strengths. They\u2019re gold. It\u2019s great to be able to reward Samantha with this trip to Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n Our teams in Sydney and in Maroochydore, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, can\u2019t wait to welcome Samantha when she arrives in Australia!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re excited to announce our wonderful virtual receptionist Samantha Martinez is the winner of our inaugural \u2018Win a Trip to Australia\u2019 competition.
