Celebrating Seven Years of CCM!
This week marks seven years since the commencement of CCM – a milestone that invites reflection.
As Aristotle said, “Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man,” suggesting that foundational traits are formed early. If this holds true for business, then CCM’s first seven years have laid the groundwork for a company that delivers value to clients, nurtures talent, and supports genuine work-life balance.
We’re proud of what we’ve built. Some highlights from the journey so far include:
· Senior staff members with over six years’ tenure
· Strong, enduring relationship with our key client
· Industry recognition as leaders across several key sectors
· A formal mentoring program embedded across the business
· Repeat business rate approaching 80%
· Successful training of junior staff and cadets
· Offices in two countries and a team of over 70 professionals
· Strategic alliance across Asia, connecting us with over 400 like-minded professionals
On a personal note, the past seven years have flown by. CCM has enabled me to achieve things I’m deeply proud of, including:
· Collaborating with fellow Directors and senior leaders in a truly open, solutions-focused environment
· Maintaining a work-life balance that has allowed me to coach both my sons in basketball and attend most of their games
· Embracing hybrid work arrangements that support family life
· Remaining hands-on across the majority of Australian projects
· Contributing to standout projects—from major fitouts in Brisbane to a significant share of mainstream and non-mainstream education facilities across Southeast Queensland
If the first seven years have shaped our foundation, I’m proud of what we’ve built. I look forward to the next chapter as CCM continues to grow; locally, nationally, and across Asia, guided by the same values that brought us here.
