BEST WISHES TO DAVID & IRENA BROOKS

Date: November 13, 2014 By:

Etienne Lawyers are excited that the 2014 World Senior II Standard Championships commence today. They Hyatt Regency Hotel, Vancouver, Canada is the elegant venue for such a prestigious event.

David and Irena Brooks – Australian Senior II Standard Champions are tanning and stretching in anticipation of competing later today.

They have trained long and hard for this opportunity and are anxious to hear the music start and walk onto the floor.

Many years of time, money, sweat and injuries have brought them to this point. It is most deserved.

David and Irena commenced dancing when their children were young and taking lessons themselves. At first they seemed like an ‘odd couple’. Irena – tiny and an ex-ballerina, David – tall and an ex-rugby player. Not the makings of a champion couple. However, they have worked hard, perfected their craft and now take to the world stage representing Australia. They are a force to be reckoned with.

No detail is too small for their attention and no hurdle to high for them to overcome.

David and Irena are passionate about both their dancing and representing Australia.

Etienne Lawyers wishes them good luck and hope that they enjoy the experience of competing with the best in the world.

Excellence in Work Health and Safety 2014 WSABE Winner thanks his supporters

Date: August 25, 2014 By:

Carl Albrecht, Director of Work Health and Safety Pty Ltd today thanked the sponsors of the 2014 WSABE awards and his supporters.

In his speech, he thanked Steve Brown and Etienne Lawyers for being a principal sponsor of the WSABEs. They were the sole sponsor of the Excellence in Work Health and Safety Award that his business succeeded in overcoming the competition to win.

He went on to acknowledge the support of the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce and his wife.

Work Health and Safety permeates every level of a business. From the levels of productivity and days lost to incidents, to the set up of operational equipment. Training and development are critical pathways for work health and safety to be inculcated into the fabric of any organisation.

Legally, WHS affects human resources, customer interactions, logistics and infrastructure and is one of the main causes of conflict between employers and employee bodies.

By creating a business solely focused on helping other businesses succeed through WHS, Carl Albrecht’s organisation is not only a creditable business, but is also encouraging good corporate citizenship. For all of these reasons, Etienne Lawyers applaud Carl and his team at Work Health and Safety Pty Ltd – a very worthy recipient of the 2014 WSABE Excellence in Work Health and Safety Award.
