Maggie joined the Wynn Frasers team back in 2017, while she pretends to be our shop mascot her main role is to lead our debt collections operation. Some say her bark is worse than her bite, but she doesn’t think you’d like to find out! Maggie really likes working undercover, she’s often laying back in the sun relaxing, but don’t worry she’s always keeping an eye out! At nearly 50 years old, (in dog years of course) she’s still fast enough to get from the office to outside of the front door before any of the staff members can catch her!
Maggie loves when children come in to visit, especially to give her a scratch behind the ears! She is also aunty to our very own head of security, Wynn!
Our new big boy Wynn! At only 18 months old, he's already weighing over 60kgs! With a goofy and playful smile its hard to take him serious, but he doesn't joke around when it comes to security! He can often be seen hiding out the back, occasionally you'll hear him yell out for a quick pat and play. Once he's got you in his sights you don't leave unscathed, he'll attack you with licks and cover you in drool!
