Malcolm joined Key Skills back in January 2025, referred by his proud grandfather after making the move from Australia to New Zealand (bucking the current trend of Kiwis heading the other way).
From day one, he impressed everyone, earning rave reviews on his very first assignment for being a quick learner and a hard worker. It wasn’t long before he found his forever home at Masterpet, where he continued to prove his worth every day.
After just six months, Malcolm’s dedication paid off and he’s now officially a permanent team member!
Stories like Malcolm’s are what Key Skills is all about – connecting good people with good opportunities, and helping workers turn short-term gigs into long-term careers.
We’re absolutely stoked for you, Malcolm – you’ve earned it.
