In April, Coates
Hire donated
$25,000 to the
Salvation Army
Doorways of Hope
project; an
initiative on
homelessness,
emergency
accommodation
and substance
addiction, which
aims to provide
greater options
for those at risk
of becoming
homeless.
The $30 million
Doorways of Hope initiative is the largest in the history of the Salvation
Army in WA. It encompasses multiple developments and refurbishments
which will transform the Salvos’ homeless outreach into one of the
nation’s most comprehensive.
For Coates Hire the fundraising got underway at the Coates Hire
Corporate Golf Classic in February through a ‘charity hole’ on the day.
It was a big event on the Coates Hire calendar for customers, staff and
suppliers, with everyone getting behind the Salvation Army to donate.
Later in the evening at the Presentation Dinner, Marcus Geisler,
Executive General Manager of Coates Hire - West, announced he would
increase the value of Coates Hire donation to $25,000.

The HRIA’s newly designed web site featuring expanded member
services, ongoing public access search capabilities and which is now
more easily navigable, has gone live.
Now visually sharper and more user friendly, the HRIA web site
redesign accommodates an expanded range of member services.
“As our membership base grew, additional services for members were
being added to the web site and it was becoming more difficult to
keep like services with like member options,” HRIA National Operations
Manager, James Oxenham said.
“Now all services have been clearly identified and compartmentalised
into relevant industry sections on the new web site, making it easy to
find member services and industry relevant information on the site.”
Search engines will now be available on every page, driving ease
of user access and enabling quick access to information. The HRIA
web site also continues to offer a public domain search engine of all
member hire and rental companies in Australia. This search engine has
been updated to make it more intelligent and capable of recognising
a variety of industry relevant key words. Members can access Member
Services by using dedicated member log in details.
The relaunch coincides with the launch of an HRIA ‘YouTube’ channel
featuring industry related videos. To view these new videos go to:
www.youtube.com; and search ‘HRIA100’.
