FACE OF QSL: Glenda Napier
Grower Service Centre Representative
Hi, my name is Glenda Napier, and I'm a Grower Service Centre Representative.
I've been working at QSL for three years and am part of the QSL Grower Services Team based in Brisbane. My role is to ensure growers are paid correctly, as well as looking after grower enquiries on our 1800 QSL Direct number.
One of the things I love about my job is the people - QSL staff and our customers!
In my out-of-office hours I love spending time with my partner, my three children, my two son-in-laws, my one grandchild and one granddog! Before the COVID-19 restrictions I liked to travel.
My favourite quote: Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
Did you know that QSL has been serving the Queensland sugar industry for nearly a century, and is proudly Queensland based and focused, with staff in 14 locations around the state. Our Face of QSL segment aims to help you meet the great team working for you, and will run on Wednesday on our Facebook page, and every Friday in the QSL Weekly Update.
