Not the Same: Employee vs. Independent Contractor
Understanding the difference between an independent contractor and an employee is a problematic area of employment and related laws.
The 2022 Trevor Patrick Commitment to Industry Award was awarded to Richard Luscombe, our National Business Development Manager. Richard was recognised for his long term commitment to the Fire Protection Industry and support of the NFIA and its Member Companies.
The award was presented by Adrian Shackleton CEO of NFIA and David Patrick (Trevor Patrick’s son) from Platinum Fire Systems.
Describing Richard’s commitment to the industry, Adrian Shackleton said, “He is the person you cross the street to say hello to, the person you call when you have an issue, and the person you trust when he speaks. He will always answer the phone and return an email and because he embodies all these things and many more, he is this year’s worthy recipient of the Trevor Patrick Commitment to Industry Award.”
Congratulations Richard.
