This continued when\u00a0the BM Tech workshop opened in Box Hill in 1989.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4823403740391715314size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\">As BM Tech continued to grow and become busier,\u00a0Chris was being called in more and more to help, so in 1992 Chris was officially\u00a0offered a full-time job. Joe is glad to say that Chris\u00a0has been with him ever since; that&#8217;s over 30\u00a0years with BM Tech &#8211; pretty much since we started!<\/p>\n<h4 lang=\"x-size-16\">A long story short<\/h4>\n<p class=\"m_4823403740391715314size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\">Over the years, Chris developed many skills; from being a BMW Technician, he eventually was promoted to the roles of Leading Hand, Foreman, Quality Control Officer, Workshop Controller and finally, he is now the Workshop Manager at BM Tech Canterbury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4823403740391715314size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\">Chris\u2019 biggest strength is his ability to manage and control teams of Technicians to ensure that the work gets done quickly, efficiently and most importantly, properly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4823403740391715314size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\">Chris is more than just an employee, he is a good friend and a great mentor to all the staff, and we are so glad that he continually chooses to work with all of us here at BM Tech.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"x-size-16\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1315\" src=\"https:\/\/bmtech.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chris-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beginning of a long friendship When Joe Brogno, owner of BM Tech, was a young mechanic working at Grand Prix BMW in Hawthorn in 1985, a new employee\u00a0Chris Caruso\u00a0started and from his very first day as a first year apprentice,\u00a0was assigned to Joe.
