Celebrating Programmed's Long Service Legends - August 2026

This month, we’re launching a new series recognising the people who have built long and meaningful careers with Programmed.

Long service is more than a number - it represents the knowledge gained, relationships formed, challenges overcome, and countless contributions made along the way. Our long-serving employees have seen the business grow and change and helped shape Programmed into the organisation it is today.

Each month, we’ll celebrate employees reaching significant service milestones, with a special spotlight on those who have been part of Programmed for 20 years or more.
