Distribution Central recognised for its unique and innovative
work culture
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Sydney, Australia, 7 September 2015 - Distribution Central Pty Limited, a leader
in digital and technology distribution and channel services, has received two significant
accolades recognising its unique and innovative work culture.
The company has been ranked 14th in the 2015 Best Places to Work in Australia
(category: over 100 employees) and was also named Employer of Choice in The
Australian Business Awards 2015. This is the sixth time that Distribution Central has
been ranked in the Best Places to Work in Australia.
The Employer of Choice Award is bestowed upon organisations that maximise the full
potential of their workforce through practices that demonstrate effective employee
recruitment, engagement and retention.
BRW publishes the Best Places to Work in Australia based on the annual study
conducted by Great Place to Work, which has studied the world’s most notable
workplace cultures for more than 30 years.
“Unquestionably, our key differentiator in this hyper-competitive market has been our
people and this accolade amplifies this important fact. And whilst we’re honoured to
be ranked 14th, we’re prouder that we’ve been ranked six times, which speaks to the
unrelenting focus on people and culture in our business since we started in 2004. We
build amazing careers, and let our people manage their own journey, while we sponsor
their dreams and remain their biggest fans,” said Nick Verykios, Managing Director &
CEO, Distribution Central.
“We have worked hard to create a unique working atmosphere that insists on being
the change agent, rather than a manager of change, driven by innovation. This is
supported by the highest quality coaching, career counselling and uninterrupted
education. I’m proud of every single person that works or has worked for Distribution
Central.”
Other recent accolades for Distribution Central, its executive management and
employees from both the IT industry and broader business community include:
