Crew Of The Weeks
"Jet Ski" George McWha and Dylan Lucchesi take home COTW this issue, wowing their customer and delivering a move with care, grace and efficiency.
"Dylan and George were absolutely wonderful to work with for our move. They were punctual and efficient, polite and friendly, and careful with all our belongings. They dismantled and reassembled bed frames/bases, got all the big/heavy furniture into place at the new address, and were very understanding about my limited mobility. I needed to sit down a lot of the time while they were working hard, but they never made me feel bad or awkward about it. I am so grateful for all their help and their genuine attitudes."
Nice work team. Jack Tandy is seeking to bestow an apt reward upon thee.

Theodore Milo (Training) (New) (No Drive) Bull-Morris, was born at 1:22am on Thursday, 16th July via emergency caesarean. He weighed 2.77kg and measured 53cm long. Mum & baby are doing well.
The Man and everyone else here in the organisation wish Alex, Cait, & Theodore a heartfelt congratulations and extend our support during this formative time.

World Cup Office Sweep
Spain have won the FIFA 2026 World Cup and because Liam Stewart drew them in the office sweep, he is now $60 richer.
An official bribery investigation into allegations of Liam looking to trade Spain in exchange for 5x Golden Tickets has been completed and found he has no case to answer.
Rounding out the winners list is Alex "Papa" Morris who takes home the runner up prize of $40 for Argentina and Jake "It's never coming home" Joyce receing a crisp $20 lobster with England.
Please spare a thought for Imran Basir, who comes away with nought, after the best team in the qualifying stage and pre-tournament favourites, France, failed to convert when it mattered most leaving him $5 out of pocket.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the tournament. We'll see you again in four years.

Windsor seeks treatment
The General Manager of Humans, Matthew Windsor, will be out of action for the majority - if not all of August, as he goes under the knife in an attempt to prolong his succesful Ice Hockey career.
Matt's absence will leave a sizeable void in the organisation with Jack Tandy & Angus Lithgow dividing up his many responsibilities in an effort to keep the company operational.
Jack will take over rostering & HR duties whereas Angus will handle all payroll tasks.
The ghost of Matthew will still exist in the ether as he may or may not meddle in the death rattle of FIleMaker™ from his bedside toward the latter half of August.

Second Trip?
Have you ever arrived to more furniture, boxes, and miscellaneous cack, than you had hoped for? Sometimes, the easiest solution is to offer a second trip.
But what about your next customer? Will another crew move them? Do they have fixed time constraints like a lift booking or settlement?
Run your plan of a second trip by The Morning Manager before you make promises to your customer. Otherwise, it can cause a great many headcahced to other your collegaues in othger trucks and later customers.
