Sue Packham

Client Relationship Manager - NSW

Sue is a problem solver - there's nothing she likes more than taking a deep dive to solve a client's tricky questions.  She also loves to build relationships based on mutual trust and respect.  She has a varied background in the hospitality and post-school education sectors, with a focus on service and improving quality of life at work.

 

Outside of work she's a winter, not summer, and dogs/horses, not cats, person who loves nothing more than spending time with her three adult children.  And if we can be travelling and/or skiing at the same time?  Well, that's her idea of heaven!
