Every great team has someone who can fix almost anything and does it with a smile. For Rivergum, that's Geoff! From maintenance to odd jobs, he’s an essential part of keeping on top of those office maintenance tasks when he is in town!
We only wish Geoff could come and visit more often as he's a shining presence that brightens everyone's day.
We think you should stay in Australia for the duration of every summer Geoff!
