Capricorn Hits the road

New South Wales Supplier Roadshows 2017 .

Capricorn recently hosted a Supplier Roadshow in NSW , where we invited around 35 metro and regional Preferred Suppliers to networking events starting in Tamworth , moving to Coffs Harbour and ending in Port Macquarie spread over 3 nights . Each venue had approx . 120 attendees and networking was the order of the day ! The purpose of this roadshow is to bring our regional Members into contact with suppliers they deal with around the state , but have in many cases , not met them face-to-face , and also , may not be aware of them being a Capricorn Preferred Supplier . The suppliers represented a broad spectrum of business types , products and services , with strong focus on equipment given the need for Members to continually improve their technology in the current environment . Most suppliers confirmed that they had made new contacts at each event , and the most frequently asked question was “ where to next !” New faces to these events included Brett Fisher from SAPE and the Holden Trade Club team . Our Area Managers Scott Simpson , David Hill and Jason Gruber hosted the events in Tamworth , Coffs Harbour and Port Maquarie respectively ; and did a sterling job spreading the word amongst their Members . Given the feedback from both Preferred Suppliers and Members , we will be planning more of these roadshows over the next 12 months .
