🎉 HUNTLEE ACADEMY CELEBRATE 10 YEARS This year, Huntlee Academy celebrates a decade of growth, innovation, and most importantly, providing opportunities to those who need and deserve them the most - our incredible employees, the true backbone of our success. We are appreciative of the individuals who have been integral to our organisations success. It was particularly gratifying to see numerous employees receive well deserved recognition for their accomplishments and the qualifications they will obtain in 2025. On Wednesday, we took the time to celebrate this milestone with our staff and business partners. We were honoured to have Hunter Dan Repacholi MP and Daniel Watton - Mayor of Cessnock in attendance, as they not only joined in celebrating the success of Huntlee Academy, but also assisted with the presentation, recognising the achievements of our employees. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our board of directors, Cessnock City Council Councilor Tracey Harrington, and Singleton Council Deputy Mayor Sue George, the teams at Huntlee, The Mai-Wel Group& Bryta Days Driving School, and all of our valued suppliers, business partners and employees who have been part of our story thus far. Our organisation remains committed to consistently providing employment opportunities and career development pathways for members of our local community. We look forward to continuing to build strong partnerships with all of our stakeholders and eagerly anticipate many more years of shared success.
