It is with great pleasure I recommend Sandra Duarte as an outstanding leader. I have recently trained her team and what I saw was a leader who really wants to equip her team with the tools and strategies to exceed their own expectations.

Sandra believes in training the team rather than blaming them for their shortfalls. She takes action and provides support and encouragement. She inspires greatness with her AMAZING attitude and positivity. I loved working with her. A true leader in every sense of the word. Thank you!

I'm delighted to be able to recommend Sandra as a generous and passionate printing and packaging professional. Sandra remains an honest and experienced professional I can turn to when I need to discuss issues ideas and challenges within my business with someone knowledgeable but removed from the day to day, confident that she will share her thoughts and ideas without fear or favour. Her practical hands on experience, well developed business acumen and professional perspective only add to her enthusiasm for the industry and passion for finding and developing new talent.

I happily and highly recommend Sandra, as a CEO or skilled business analyst to help others. I have had the pleasure of working with Sandra (as a supplier to Centrum) on several large product roll outs and have always found her to be highly organised, an excellent communicator, and very fair and reasonable. Sandra has an excellent understanding of running a business, analysing market trends, and pivoting to become highly profitable in challenging markets. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I would employ (given the chance) and highly recommend Sandra.

Sandra is an inspiration and positive role model to school students she has interacts with as a volunteer with Inspiring the Future (ITF) Australia. She is passionate about introducing young people to career pathways in the printing industry and eagerly responds to requests by teachers to either visit their school or to host groups of school students on site tours of Centrum Printing's operations.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Sandra on a project promoting the Print and Graphic Arts Industries to school students parents and teachers. Sandra's love and passion for the business she leads and the industry she is in shines through in every thing she does and says. She is a truly inspirational leader that can direct and motivate people to be their best. I commend her to anyone considering working with her in the future. Thank you Sandra, it was a real pleasure working with you!

Not many get the opportunity of knowing someone for longer than a quarter of a century!

I first met Sandy last century in the 90's at Total Tourism. Sandy went on to work for Percy Vij at Centrum and I joined a print management company and the business relationship soon got back together again.

Sandy at Centrum took a deep interest in everyone she met, both from a customer and employee level. Sandy was genuinely interested in what people did and I believe is the foundation of her outlook on life.

In a very difficult period in the Printing Industry Centrum and with Sandy at the helm, changed its business strategy and took on a new lease of life with visibility marketing and branding.

If you could bottle Sandy it would be akin to a bottle of Penfold's Grange, only getting better with age.

I have been working with Sandra for over 10 years now. As a designer I find her ability to communicate a clear and concise brief refreshing. Sandra has great leadership skills, something I noticed when we were collaborating on some particularly difficult projects.

It's great to work with someone who has a clear idea of how they want their project to come to fruition.

I'm looking forward to working together again on her next exciting venture.

Sandra’s skill in operation management and her persistence to always do better for herself and the industry is credit to her. Along with her positive attitude and her work on boards, her commitment to educating the youth, she is a humble powerhouse and overall amazing woman with a vision and passion.

- Kirsten Taylor

I have had the pleasure of working with Sandra on a personal and professional level. As a CEO her enthusiasm was clearly evident from our first meeting. Her passion for her work is reflected within the company and the team, along with the company expansion. Sandra is a true leader who is passionate about empowering and supporting women and helping the next generation find their way. A woman with a mission!

I am lucky to have worked under Sandra's leadership at Centrum Group. She is a true leader who values her staff like her own family. She shows compassion, understanding and is a great listener and advisor, be it professional or personal issues.

Her priority was to ensure the success and growth of the company, while maintaining the wellbeing of her staff at all times. Sandra always delivers what she promises and is a leader with great integrity. For her, there was no such thing as "it cannot be done" - she was solutions focused and always found a way to achieve a positive outcome especially when it involved client satisfaction.

- Maria Bautista

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Sandra. We have worked on multiple projects together and attend the same organisations. What I admire and have great respect for with Sandra is that her true values and self shines through her personality, the work that she does and the individuals she interacts with on a community level is humbling.
