BOQ Birkdale Celebrates 15 Years In Business
BOQ Birkdale Owner Managers, Glen Findlay, Ramesh Singh and Peter Teitzel, celebrated 15 years in business on the weekend. Glen, Ramesh and Peter have a long and distinguished association with both BOQ and banking overall. From a BOQ perspective they have not only operated their Birkdale Branch Franchise for the last 15 years but have also owned and operated the Alexandra Hill Branch for 16 years in December this year.
In relation to banking, Glen and Ramesh have over 40 years’ experience each and Peter, the junior of the trio, has 36 years tenure. That’s a combined 116 years of banking knowledge and experience, a truly amazing achievement.
Understandably, we’re keen to tap into this collective wisdom, and Glen (representing the trio) shared the following insights with us:

Autonomy
What is your favourite business quote or book?

“Congratulations Glen, Ramesh and Peter a truly remarkable achievement, your passion for business and dedication to your customers over the long terms is unparalleled. We wish you continued success for the future.” – Glen Goldspink
