Christmas at FACTION 🎄
To celebrate the end of another big year, we came together for our Christmas festivities - a great opportunity to step outside the usual routine and enjoy the season together.

Our end-of-year celebrations were full of great moments; from the iconic MONA ferry and its inspiring setting, to relaxed catch-ups, good conversations, and time well spent together. It was a lovely reminder of the value of connection beyond the day-to-day. Our team also came together for a lively Secret Santa exchange, delivering plenty of laughs and festive cheer all round.

We all look forward to welcoming 2026 with fresh energy and momentum.

Our Managing Director, Gary Finnegan, often travels interstate to work with our national teams and clients, so we thought we'd show you a snapshot of what is involved on these trips.

As you know, traveling for business isn't always as glamorous as it seems. What you can see from this video, it involves early mornings, late nights, HUGE working days, client dinners, hotel beds, airport queues, and out-of-your-control situations.

However, for Gary, nothing beats being face-to-face with our national team and clients, so these trips are worth the effort and energy.
