This past weekend we held our annual company Holiday Party where we celebrated all of our accomplishments as an organization in 2025.

On top of celebrating the organization as a whole, we also take this time to acknowledge our Employee of the Year - someone who has gone above and beyond for our clients and staff in 2025.

This years Employee of the Year is Scott Dangerfield (he/him) our Facilities Manager who helps keep all three of our buildings running smoothly.

From plumbing issues to the grand openings of Cafe Oztara and the Mosaic building, Scott works tirelessly to ensure we can meet this ever growing need for our clients.

If you see Scott around Damien, be sure to thank him for his crucial work in keeping Damien's buildings together.
