Thank You and Farewell – Kevin Bennett

After almost a decade of dedicated service, Kevin Bennett, our Queensland Facilitator, is embarking on the next exciting chapter of his journey. Kevin’s contributions to Best Practice Network have been nothing short of extraordinary and while it’s impossible to list them all, the impact he’s made on our community is truly immeasurable.

With over 30 years of international industry experience, Kevin has played a pivotal role in shaping many of our key programs. He was instrumental in supporting Gary Kerr to facilitate the International Study Tour for the past 8 years. Kevin has tirelessly led the Countdown Programs across Australia, running them with passion and commitment year after year. Additionally, his role in developing the Leading Project Delivery program has been pivotal and we are excited that he will continue to deliver this program in 2025. Kevin also hosted the *Talking Leadership Podcast* series and co-founded the Manufacturing Excellence Forum, always championing local industry and inspiring excellence.

Kevin’s deep expertise and his dedication to operational and business excellence have positively impacted countless members. He has facilitated hundreds of powerful online forums and face-to-face events across Queensland and NSW, always with the goal of bringing people together, building capability, and driving customer service and process performance to new heights.

Kevin has developed key relationships with many company’s throughout Queensland and throughout South East Asia.  His relationship with Fashion Garments helped modernise the merchandising relationship with key global retail brands in conjunction with TXM.

Throughout his time with us, Kevin has truly embodied the spirit of our Network—*Inspire to Challenge, Support to Succeed*. His passion, enthusiasm, and genuine care for helping others grow have left an indelible mark on our community. While we will miss him dearly, we are excited for the next chapter of his journey, confident that whatever he takes on next, he will continue to inspire and succeed.

Thank you, Kevin. We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours and know that you will continue to make a difference wherever you go.
