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 celebrate employees reaching significant service milestones, with a special spotlight on those who have been part of Programmed for 20 years or more. Here's our Legends for October!
