aspects is to get prompt and regular payment from our
customers and clients. This is for a variety of reasons but one of
the key ones is to ensure we have enough cash flow to reinvest
in the business, pay staff, suppliers and other stakeholders in a
holding a seminar next month in Sydney which will go into this subject in more detail also include
a presentation on durability matters in remedial design.
Last month it was my pleasure to chair the inaugural meeting of the Western Australia branch of
ACRA. The new branch members showed great interest in organising local events that are of
specific interest to the WA construction industry and I am sure the branch will grow into a thriving
one with lots of activities that benefit members and the wider industry in WA. With a sub branch
established in Western Australia our focus now turns to New Zealand and I encourage anyone
that has any contacts or companies located in New Zealand to express their interest in becoming
a member.
I would like extend a big welcome to several new members that have come on board in the last
couple of months and are listed in this newsletter. It is great to see that there is growing interest
in ACRA and organisations see value in being part of ACRA.
Lastly, we have recently launched our new website and the feedback so far has been very
positive! We would still like to hear from you though to see how we can improve if further.
Hopefully the more modern look and easier to navigate website makes it a more user friendly site
to use for everyone in the industry.
