BlueZone Group was pleased to join with more than fifty other representatives from the Hunter industry to see Paul “Monty” Montgomery be presented with the Defence Industry Service Commendation.

The Hon Melissa Price MP, Minister for Defence Industry was in Newcastle to make the presentation. Minister Price said that Monty’s work for defence over many years could be summarised in one way, “saving lives”. This is certainly very true for Monty’s current role which contributes directly to the readiness of Navy Mine Counter Measures capability.

Monty has an outstanding career of service to the Australian Defence Force and the defence industry.
