We were delighted to announce Daryl Kelly, our Projects & Onboarding Manager as our Reliable Advocate following our Living The Values Awards at our Family BBQ. The awards were given based on feedback and nominations from everyone here at Apex!
It's an honour to get an award voted by my peers. I don't do what I do for recognition, I do it for our customers and the team but it is fantastic to receive the recognition.
Our values provide a foundation for maintaining alignment across the business. We play a unique role in delivering the level of service our customers require. The values underpin our commitment to delivering quality service to our customers.
"Daryl is what a true Apex staff member is and needs to be, who literally lives by all the core values. Daryl is approachable, reliable, calm, knowledgeable and understanding and will always go out of his way where possible to help anyone. #Legendary."
A typical day at Apex is a balance between structure and adaptability. As a Project Manager, I start by reviewing active projects, ensuring timelines, resources, and deliverables are aligned. In my Onboarding Manager role, I work closely with new clients to make sure their transition to Apex is as smooth as possible, setting clear expectations, mapping out their needs, and making sure they feel supported from day one.
What excited me most about my role is seeing the impact we make on clients' businesses. Helping client go from feeling overwhelmed with IT challenges to having a reliable, streamlined setup is really rewarding. I also love the variety, every project is different, every client has unique needs.
Leading our professional services team through its most successful period as we continue to grow stronger.
“I would like to thank my colleagues for nominating me and recognising me with this award. I am dedicated to my role at Apex and committed to supporting my team whenever possible. It means a lot to know that my colleagues place their trust in me,” said Daryl.
I am excited about a lot of the new tech, but what excites me the most is that we are building a platform for the next and future generations to make a bigger impact on the world.
Never panic, especially in what can be seen as a major incident. Step away, make a brew and process the information you have received. Then take action.

"Daryl has gone above and beyond recently to co-originate both live projects for existing clients and onboard new clients. Daryl regularly uses his own time to ensure he remains on track with requirements and always putting the customer first. His dedication to our customers is second to none."
We are a typical family; differences of opinion and occasional errors may occur. Nonetheless, we remain united in our dedication to achieving the best outcomes for both our clients and our team.
