On February 7th at the Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery, many of his old workmates joined with his family and many of his other friends in farewelling Brian Camps - "Campsie" - a gentleman and a really good bloke. He died on January 26th after a long fight with cancer. He was 76.
Brian had an interesting and quite varied career with AGC which commenced in Newcastle. His experience in AGC covered all aspects of Credit, Sales, Administration, Human Resources and Management and the esteem in which he was held by all levels of staff throughout the company during his career is evidenced by the range of his past associates who attended his farewell.
During Brian's time as Manager Compliance NSW, AGC had to resolve a lot of systemic errors on credit contracts in those states where consumer credit Acts were in place. In the course of making application to the relevant Credit/Administrative tribunals, one key part of the company’s applications was an affidavit of some length and complexity drawn up by our lawyers in conjunction with Brian. The affidavit covered our compliance process and was used or referred to in many proceedings. It was noted by all our external advisers, both solicitors and barristers, as being a great document and various Chairs of the credit tribunals also complimented on the clarity and detail of the document. It was known as The Camps' Affidavit.
A regular attendee at the group’s lunches, Brian will be missed.
