Thank you for this outstanding video. As I said to Megan, ElectraNet have raised the bar! It absolutely strikes the right balance between being professional, but relaxed and the messages are transferable to so many other businesses.

Just a quick note to acknowledge the tremendous amount of coordination and effort to create and execute a robust communications plan for the end of Holden production. I can't imagine how hard it is for employees, suppliers, partners and others to comprehend such a huge shift in business operations but from what I saw in your press release and have heard about your planning efforts, you handled the issue with grace and compassion, which is a testament to your skill as communicators.

Thought I would pass along a little positive feedback from outside of the Holden bubble. I attended the Facebook CMO council, as well as the AANA dinner this week ... everyone was very complimentary on the way the Holden team handled the closure in a respectful, human and celebratory way ... in fact, most were amazed at how well we were portrayed ... best comment was that this will one day become a business case study on how to close a business in a such a caring and emotional way.

Dear Megan and all involved in the organisation of the Holden Dream Cruise. What a wonderful event it was! My warmest congratulations to you all for the brilliant organisation of the day. Every last detail was taken into account and the result was an event that truly honoured Holden heritage and the thousands plus enthusiasts who were privileged to take part in the Cruise as well as the thousands of Holden devotees who lined the route of the procession and cheered us on. It was very moving to drive through the streets.
