Yet another business went into administration last week despite turning over $14 million. Hallam Manufacturing is just the most recent in a long line of manufacturing businesses to collapse and even a successful trading history of 41 years wasn’t able to help it.

This will no doubt be a horrible time for Hallam Manufacturing, their staff and families.

We are out and about hitting the road to get your news and views on what’s going on in the construction industry. The perfect place to start is with the Master Builders Association (MBA) NSW Trade Shows around Sydney.

Our first stop was last Wednesday at the MBA Trade Show in Roseville, held at the Roseville Golf club. We got to meet a few of our our members face to face which was great and of course a few others found out about how they can protect their business’ and cash flow by getting their payments secured in advance using CheckVault. To celebrate our first Trade Show appearance we upped the ante by giving away a lucky door prize of an iPad mini.

I was talking to a friend the other night who mentioned that his previous boss, a residential builder, had stopped a job because he hadn’t been paid a few of his last invoices on one job.

A couple of weeks on from our national celebration of ANZAC Day and we’ve just received some great news from one of our active service men.

The day before ANZAC Day, the Australian Defence Force had some of their uniformed military personnel raising money to provide much needed services for our returning veterans. They were selling badges all over the Sydney CBD and in many other locations across Australia too. Commuters across Sydney contributed $47,000 through the badge drive on this morning alone which will go a long way to helping veterans upon their return back to their homes.
