By Sonia Isaacs
BEERWAH Shell service station manager, Karina Degan, has just returned from Singapore after representing Australia at the Global Service Champion Awards.
As previously reported in the GC&M News (March 5 edition), Karina was awarded the 2023 National Service Champion of the Year, with a trip to Singapore to attend the Shell international conference and awards ceremony as part of her prize. Karina described representing Australia and Beerwah on the global stage as an unforgettable yet surreal experience.
“Just realising how big Shell is all over the world, with 46 countries attending the conference, was incredible,” she said.
“Seeing how proud everyone was to be there, along with the medal ceremony and then the gala, was definitely an experience I won’t forget any time soon.”
Karina said the trip marked the first time she and her husband Joh had travelled overseas together.
“Singapore itself is fantastic. Very clean and safe feeling, and people are beyond helpful and friendly,” she said.
“We have never had the travel bug, but after visiting Singapore, we would like to go back and see more of the country.
“Our takeaway from the trip was just how global Shell is and how proud everyone was to support Shell in every country. We really are very lucky to have such an innovative company here in Australia.”
