Stacey Vella, Client Service Coordinator

Stacey joined us here at Excel at the end of 2017, after deciding on a life changing career move, and hasn’t looked back since. Originally from the Murray River area, Stacey relocated to Karuah in 2004 to be with Scott, whom she met during her school years, the man who would become her husband. Together they have 2 boys, Riley and Noah, and remain within the area.

When not hard at work, Stacey enjoys spending time sewing, travelling, 4×4 and camping, and also spending weekends with her family. She is also a major fan of Elmo’s Corner. Be sure to keep a look out for it on your drive to the Office!
