30th August 2019: Happy Father's Day!

On the first Sunday every September, we celebrate Father's Day to honour fathers and celebrate fatherhood, paternal bonds, father figures and the influence of fathers in society.

From the Fletchers family and team to yours, we wish you a Happy Father's Day.

What's your favourite memory of your Dad?

"When I was in prep participating in my first school athletics event, my Dad was ready to film my running event with his huge early 90s video camera, and was standing on the opposite side of the track to the lane I was in, just after the finish line. When the whistle blew for the race to start, I looked across and spotted my Dad across the way, and instead of running straight ahead in my lane, I ran diagonally across the track straight to my Dad (cutting off all the other kids along the way) - and I still managed to win the race!"

Setting up camp at Rosebud foreshore. We stayed for 6 weeks, it was a massive job and took 3 trips to get it all there!

"Cannot name just one, but probably when he walked me down the aisle."

Joanne Cripps, Central Maintenance Expert

"Hearing him tell stories and jokes, even when you've heard them before. He knew so much about so much and now that he's gone, it's one of the things I miss most. "

Sarah Lowry, Chief Marketing Officer

"I have many but having now become a parent myself, what I value most in our dad is the time he spent with us. Making school dress ups, teaching us to ride a bike, taking us camping. He always had TIME, and that means more to me than anything else. Happy Father's Day, we love you!"

Prue Fletcher, Brand & Lifestyle Ambassador

What's the best piece of advice from your Dad?

"Nobody really wins a fight."

Scott Allison, Director & Auctioneer

"To always be yourself no matter what."

Joanne Cripps, Central Maintenance Expert

"Help your children become the best version of themselves that they can."

Bradley Brown, Director & CEO

What's the most rewarding thing about being a Dad?

"Seeing your children achieve their dreams and knowing you played a hand in it."

Bradley Brown, Director & CEO

What makes your hubby a great Dad to your kids?

"To see them in each other's company is to watch two little girls who absolutely adore their Dad. No game is ever too silly and no story is ever too long. He is quite literally their whole world."

Prue Fletcher, Brand & Lifestyle Ambassador

"It's great that my girls have a Dad who they can always rely on, no matter what the circumstance. "

Caroline Dawborn, Customer Experience Manager

What's your favourite thing about your Dad?

"My favourite thing about my Dad was his love of watching my son grow and become a young man. Dad adored his own grandfather, and he delighted in passing on knowledge to his own grandson. We miss him."
