Meet Fran Stead - Chief Executive Officer


How long have you worked at CINC?
I’ve worked at CINC for 6 years – I began in the Finance department, working 10 hours a week.

Have you always lived in Cowra?
No I moved to Cowra  11 years ago from a small village called Robertson on the Southern Highlands.

What were you doing before you joined the CINC team?

I come from a Corporate Background.  First few years in Cowra, having no family in town,  I chose to stay home with my young children before re-entering the workforce when my youngest started school.

What are your favourite parts of your day?

Apart from seeing my children’s smiling faces in the morning, I love that NO day is ever the same.  I have absolutely no idea of what each day will bring.  Regardless of how well planned my day is, it can change without warning and  I love this.  Another of my favourite parts of my day is the Skype calls I look forward to with my eldest son who is currently living in the UK.

What do you do in your spare time?
I have very limited spare time, so I choose to focus on my family and close friends.  I’m currently thoroughly enjoying my newfound fitness journey.   Friday nights are spent enjoying a well-deserved wine!!

What are 3 words that your friends would say best describe you?
I have no idea – you’ll have to ask my friends.

What’s on your bucket list?
From a personal life perspective, I’m a “live in the moment’ kind of person.  I feel that by planning ahead, I’m missing out on the present.  I’m loving living in the here and now.
