How long have you lived in Forbes? I was born and raised in Forbes but spent three years on the Sunshine Coast before returning in 2011.

Where do you work? I am the Customer Experience and Marketing Manager for the Bernardi Group.

What do you do in your free time?
Spend time hanging out with my husband and three kids! And I also publish an online kids interior publication called Minty Magazine (www.mintymagazine.com.au)

How do you like your coffee? Latte with one sugar please!

What makes your day? When the kids say something funny or a day skiing and camping with my family and friends, or getting excellent customer service – it’s the little things that have the biggest impact!

If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday where would it be? Right now life is very busy, so I’d love a quiet villa in Bali to kick back and relax with the family for a while.

How long have you lived in Forbes? I moved here about 14 years ago. I had a farm in Tullamore for 19 years, sold it and moved to Sydney where I gained some hospitality experience before moving to Forbes in December 2002.

Where do you work? I bought the Vandenberg Hotel 14 years ago.

What do you enjoy most about your job? The most interesting part is dealing with people, talking about their lives, and serving the public.

What do you do in your spare time? I do not have much spare time, but when I get time my partner and I like to travel in our motorhome to see parts of Australia.

How do you like your coffee? Latte – the soft approach.

What makes your day? Probably knowing I have achieved something for the day no matter how big or small, and also when I have learned something new.

If you could go on holiday anywhere in the world where would you go? I would like to see Europe as I haven’t been to any parts of it.

All my life – I was born here. I have only been away for four years when I went to study pharmacy in Wagga.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
The people – seeing customers, and working with both teams who are fantastic.

friends and reading novels.

Cappuccino with one sugar.

What makes your day?
At work when I feel I’ve helped people, and going home to a happy, healthy family.

If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday where would it be?
I would love to take my family to Disneyland in the US, but that is probably a long way off though.

Ned Hamilton

How long have you lived in Forbes? I have been living in and out of Forbes for the past 14 years.

What do you enjoy most about your job? I love keeping in touch with agriculture and rural regions. I also enjoy it being a peoples job and not riddled with bureaucracy.

The aviation industry is a big favourite of mine. I find flying a great release and take every opportunity I get to add to my 700 hours I have on my current Cessna plane.

How do you like your coffee? Flat white in a cup, not too hot and lots of it.

What makes your day? Positive people whose glass is half full. On a professional level seeing a buyer and seller both happy with the outcome.

If you could go on holiday anywhere in the world where would you go? Me, my airplane and anyone who wants to come to central Australia. You see what an amazing country we live in from up there: Lake Eyre, Uluru and the intricate inland river system are my favourites.
