October saw some great events happening across the Roundtable in Queensland. Included in the "must do" list was our Supply Chain Working Group at the [Woolworths'](https://www.woolworths.com.au/) Brisbane Distribution Centre, Larapinta.

Our host, Bjorn Ohlsson and his team ran attendees through Woolworths' recently implemented employee engagement program; **Customer 1st Champion (C1C)**.  Tome Petreski, C1C facilitator impressed the attendees with the scope and quality of the program, along with Woolworths' senior leaders' commitment to improving employee engagement. Attendees were also treated to a sneak peek at the **latest innovations** scheduled to be included in the new National Distribution Centre in Melbourne, which is on track to be fully operational in the next 6 months. 

The Centre will house some of the most sophisticated instrument control and automation systems in Australasia. 

We have many of these events in the [calendar](http://www.sirfrt.com.au/calendar), that I’m sure you’ll find as interesting as this visit was, so we hope to see you there at some stage.
