Mercedes-Benz Melbourne celebrates employee’s half-century of service

LSH Group Australia says extraordinary congratulations are due to Mercedes-Benz Melbourne employee Garry Pole on achieving 50 years of service.

The Group says its an accomplishment seldom matched in today’s business world and a testament of commitment and dedication to a career he began as a teenager.

Pole became automotive apprentice in 1973. He graduated to the role of automotive technician, responsible for performing advanced repairs on vehicles and disassembling for panel repair. He also was responsible for ensuring that all repairs were performed by factory standards. 

In recent years, Pole has taken on the role of Yard Hand where he is responsible for ensuring a professional brand and image through the effective management of the dealership facility.

Pole’s dedication to his work, over the past 50 years, has contributed to the success of the dealership according to LSH Group Australia. 

“As one would expect, with his level of experience and knowledge he is, in some ways, seen as the ‘father ‘of Mercedes-Benz Melbourne,” it says.

LSH Group Australia and Mercedes-Benz Melbourne recently held a special dinner in Pole’s honour, at which managing director, John Good, and Melbourne Dealer Principal, Vaughan Blackman, presented him with a special certificate to mark his remarkable achievement.
