6 Minutes Read

Welcome to the March 2024 edition of the Industry Partners Australia newsletter.

Recently, I have been asked how the economy is impacting IPA. We are seeing some organisations struggling, but overall, the market is prevailing; in fact for us, we have seen significant growth in our community of members and specialist partners. This growth brings new organisations into the network, enabling more opportunities to share new concepts and help each other find solutions.

Elsewhere, we have our first public Virtual Evolve2 Leadership Program starting in May. We are also exhibiting at the Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) in April, so if you are around Sydney, please call in and say hello.

From behind the scenes, we are constantly busy improving how we drive our customer experience; these unsung team members are Lana May, developing our Brand & Marketing; Hannah Watts, constantly improving our internal and customer systems; Sam Jeffrey and Steph Liley, running our events. It is easy only to recognise the people you have daily dealings with, but without these guys, there is no way we can bring the excellent services we provide.

MEMBER REFERRALS

NEWSLETTER Member Referral Image Being a member of IPA has many benefits, one being the ability to learn from other member companies within our network. We find it extremely rewarding to facilitate these connections, enabling this resource.

If you have any business issues that need to be resolved, remember that other companies have more than likely been through the same challenges and can help point you in the right direction. Please reach out to your IPA contact to see if we know of someone who can potentially help.
