Crew Of The Weeks
Dynamic duo Liam Stewart and Angus Polich take home COTW this issue with a ripper 5/5 star survey.
"Absolute legends! Liam and Angus helped me with my move and I couldn’t be happier with their service. They were super friendly, incredibly hard-working, and took such good care of all my belongings. They even offered to help assemble some of my furniture! To top it all off, they powered through and got the job done a full 1.5 hours ahead of the estimated quote time, which saved me money. Would highly recommend Liam, Angus, and the Man With A Van team! 5/5 stars."
Nice work team, catch Jack Tandy around the depot to collect your reward!

The App!
The official App continues to evolve and improve as more useful feedback is submitted to the IT department.
Thank you again to everyone who has given some thought and relayed problems and solutions to the management team or directly to Angus Lithgow and Mark Putter.
Do you want to submit feedback but don't know where to start? It's at the bottom of the App!
Did you know?
The notoriously clunky and hard to access wiki has been seamlessly migrated into the new MWAV App!
Now that you're able to pop in and out without the hassle of the constant logging in via google, check out our Policies, minutes from our Meetings & Committees, How to Videos, All the Links, Communications, and a whole lot more.
The King of tips!
Congratulations to Sachin Smith for winning MWAV's AFL Footy Tipping for season 2026 with a total of 154 correct tips out of 207 games!
"Jetski" George McWha (153) and Jackson "No relation to Tim" Bishop (153) rounded out the top 3 just pipping Tim "Nugget" Bishop (152) and Jake "Jake Joyce" Joyce (152) by one solitary tip.
The NRL tipping finishes this weekend with a tight tussle for top spot and the AFLW comp has kicked off with more rickety ups and downs than a Royal Show Rollercoaster. Watch this space for more announcements and we hope to see you all again in 2027.
RUOK Day
RUOK Day is happening this Thursday, 10 September.
The idea of RUOK Day is a national day of action for people to check in with their mates and colleagues to ask that very important question "Hey, mate, are you okay?"
It's a wonderful idea but just as a dog isn't just for Xmas, RUOK isn't just for 10 September. If you think there is a chance your lifting partner today might not be doing so well or is going through some struggles, ask them about it. Reaching out and being an ear to listen or even a shoulder to lean on can mean a world of difference. Just ask this scribe.
If you need to get something off your chest or just want to talk something over, there are also not one but now two dedicated couches in the HR office for you to talk to a friendly manager.
People here care about you. I care about you. Have a think. Let's a chat.
Father's Day
Did someone say "jocks and socks" three times in the mirror? Because it's Father's Day this Sunday!
Happy Father's Day to all the new dads, old dads, soon-to-be-dads, and father figures in people's lives.
If you have a father figure in your life, reach out and make time to talk.
The Vibe
As the customer feedback surveys being trickling through the new system it's almost nothing but positive vibes! Outside from one customer who was unhappy with our inability to control the weather, Melbourne is very much picking up what you're putting down. Great work team!
