Centenary of Administration

April 16, 2025

100 Years Combined Service

Logan & Hall is very proud of our hard working administration team. As a group they have just clocked up 100 years of providing excellent service to our clients.

We feel that this is an event worthy of celebrating and we would like to highlight their achievements and service.


Merryn Stacey has been with Logan & Hall since 1994 and has 30 years of service. Merryn started out when the office was located in Beveridge St and it is bit of a running joke in the office that she had a perm way back then.


Merryn now looks after all the companies within the office preparing all the annual returns and company notices or changes. Her other main responsibility is getting all the BAS information in for many of our clients. Chances are, she has called you to ask to get your info in!


Jodie Cunningham started in 2001 and has been with Logan & Hall for over 23 years. Jodie started out as an office junior fresh out of school as her first job.


Jodie looks after the technology in the office and used to spend many weekends at work updating our old server software and getting ready for the new tax season each year. Thankfully, with everything online, that stuff is no longer required. Jodie now makes sure everyone’s computer is working as it should. Her other responsibility is to chase up the BAS work for many clients to make sure that they get done and lodged on time.


Kim Lobe has been with Logan & Hall since 2003 clocking up over 21 years of service. Prior to 2003, Kim worked for Logan & Hall for a separate nine-year stint. She left to seek out greener pastures in 2001 to return to Logan & Hall in 2003. 


Kim provides great assistance to Gary as she helps him take care of the many admin functions and tasks that pop up everyday. Her other main responsibility is to help plan and organise the workflow of annual tax jobs each year. She ensures that the work is in so that our accountants are kept busy.


Jacey Koetsveld commenced with Logan & Hall in 2006 and has completed a little over 19 years of service. Jacey’s first experience with Logan & Hall was to come to our Christmas party before she had commenced work. It was a fun night, and we are glad she decided to stay with us after that.


Jacey helps Andrew with many odd jobs and keeps him organised and on track. She is also responsible for managing annual tax workflow and sending out the many business tax returns for signing whether by mail or electronically.


Amber Norton started back in 2018 and has just clocked up 7 years of service with Logan & Hall. Amber started with us when Michelle Bryan went on maternity leave. At the time, Michelle had been with Logan and Hall for over 10 years.


Amber sits at our reception desk and is the first point of contact for many of our clients who call or come into the office. She also looks after the continual flow of correspondence from the Tax Office. Her other main role is looking after the administration of our Self-Managed Super Funds. Amber is likely the one to call you to get your Super Fund annual tax information in.


Chances are you will have been greeted on the phone or in the office by one of these friendly and efficient team members. Please join us in thanking them for their ongoing support of our business and yours.

Deryn worked for Logan & Hall for over 32 years. She was originally employed in an administration role which she continued to do until she left in 1984 to start her family having children Jane and then David. Deryn returned to Logan & Hall in around 1990 as the Office Manager where she also completed some accounting courses. Deryn eventually went onto managing all the office Self-Managed Super Funds including preparation and lodgement of these returns. During her time at Logan & Hall, Deryn built strong relationships with her clients and will be missed by them we’re sure. Outside of work, Deryn is also well known in the Swan Hill Community with her involvement with the Swan Hill Show and Swan Hill Women in Racing. Deryn could also be found on the golf course. You may have even shared a glass or two of bubbles with Deryn along the way. We treasure the many years we have had with Deryn both at work and personally. She will be missed around the workplace, but we will be keeping in touch. Deep will now be managing the Self-Managed Super Funds and can take care of any queries you may have.
