Opening is in the toolbag

FOOTBALL great David Parkin kicked off the launch of Bunnings Warehouse’s Pakenham store last week.
Complex manager Claire Lee said she was looking forward to working with her new team and couldn’t ask for anything better.
While the store had been open for almost a week, the official opening was held on Thursday.
“Our team members have worked extremely hard to prepare the store for the opening and we are looking forward to helping the community,” she said.
Mr Parkin spoke of the importance of team work. He said the Bunnings team needed to work as one towards the same goals rather than 50 separate people.
He was presented with his very own Bunnings toolbox and a gift card with his own face on the card before unveiling a plaque with his name on it.
“I feel very honoured to have my name on the plaque,” he said.
“I’ll definitely be driving the hour and a bit from Hawthorn to Pakenham to get my tools.”
