Here’s what some of our trade sector clients have said:

• “I’m not sure if it’s because we more aware or alert to our performance targets, but discussing our monthly management accounts, the P&L for every job or our budget vs actual has real, tangible benefits.” – Grant Millar, Precision Construction Limited
• “Now, because of the way we run things, I can address the changes in our industry by streamlining our core business but meet the needs of clients by having conversations about other services they need and how we might be able to connect them with the right expertise. With the broadening of our approach, we’ve been able to make a name for ourselves in the Auckland residential market.” – Milan and Paula Dell, Dell Electrical
• “They’ve advised us on everything from cash flow management and achieving higher sales to expanding overseas and trade finance. Plus they’ve been there for us during the tough times with sound business advice, and on the big jobs to help us manage risk.” – Nils and Sue Danielsen, Wildfire Commercial Kitchens & Bars

We look forward to receiving your registration. This event is free to attend but seating is strictly limited so you’ll need to reserve your place in advance. Morning tea will be available so you can head straight back to work afterwards.
