A big farewell to Nick Mavroudis
It is with mixed feelings that we announce Nick Mavroudis is
leaving Fisher Lane Mobility
after 13 years of incredible service.It will be with a sense of sadness we see him go,
yet we
could not be happier for Nick and his family as they pursue their dream of a
sea change to set up home in sunny Queensland.
Nick first joined our team in 2003 as our warehouse manager
at Brunswick St Fitzroy.
Nick then joined the sales team and went onto become a most highly capable, knowledgeable and
admired
team member. Nick has fitted thousands of clients with assistive equipment over his years and
we are so grateful to him for
the highest possible standard of work that he set
for himself.
One of Nick’s greatest legacies to impart on our team is his
generosity in spirit when it comes
to sharing knowledge. Nick has shared all he has learnt with our sales team over
his years
which now leaves us with one of the most knowledge rich teams of sales professionals in the industry.
We are happy to announce that Cal Bruce will be taking on
Nick’s high end power scripting work.
Cal has been working closely with Nick for the past weeks and we are confident of a smooth and
professional handover. Cal’s bio is included for your reference below.Sean Redmond
will be looking after Nick’s therapists for
basic scripting of manual chairs as well as Cal Bruce.

We will have Nick’s email address linked to our
sales team here at FLM for the
foreseeable future to ensure all of Nicks clients and therapists
continue to
receive the high level of service Nick has always provided.
If you have any questions or comments about the announcement
of Nick moving on,

Fisher Lane's Wall of Fame
~Our Everyday Heroes~
“To be inspired you must surround yourself with inspiring
things”
With this quote in mind, we’ve decided to create our very
own Wall of Fame to celebrate inspirational people
who often go without the
praise or recognition that they truly deserve.
Each month we’ll add a picture to “the wall” of somebody who
has been nominated by our team due to being
an example of awesomeness. And then
we’ll share it with you so that you can also be inspired!
This could be anyone from an athlete, someone’s mum, a
client or anyone who has done something
courageous or inspirational. Who knows,
maybe you’ll receive a message from us asking for a picture to go up there!
And so without further ado, we are so proud to announce our
very first wall of fame and everyday hero,
Monique Murphy – chosen by Ben.
Mon is an amazing athlete in the Australian Paralympic
swimming team. Not only has Mon shown extreme
courage over the last few years
to overcome losing a lower limb to then achieving such success in elite sports,
she also displays a huge love for life and a joyfulness that celebrates all of
the little things. A picture of
positivity and extreme work ethic!
