Celebrating Programmed's Long Service Legends - September 2026

Sep 22, 2026, 3:47:38 PM | Culture & Community Celebrating Programmed's Long Service Legends - September 2026

September 2026 - Celebrating employees reaching significant service milestones 🌟

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. Here's our Legends for September!
