Each month we celebrate an employee who we think has stood out or stepped up in their role. We always love to celebrate our employees and acknowledge their achievements in the work place!

As an Employee of the Month, the winner receives a framed certificate and a $150 dinner voucher at one of Camden’s finest restaurant, Enzo’s, to treat themselves as a way to say thank you on behalf of the Wakeling Automotive family!
