I arrived on the Sunshine Coast in January 2000 after living in Sydney for 13 years. A "lifestyle" change was my choice to move to the Coast. This place has great weather, beautiful beaches and there's so many weekend activities to do here.  While watching the evening news one night I saw Jan win the Young Manager of the Year Award and thought "I just gotta meet her!" Now I'm happy to be working with Jan, Mike and the Team here at Beckers.
