The mate2Manager program can be delivered in house as Harry the hirer and South Coast Party Hire ran theirs, or can be run with participants from various member organisations who are in the same geographic area. “The benefit of running an in-house program is it is catered directly to the scenarios within your organisation. The benefit of the mixed group is the opportunity to network and share experiences with industry peers in a non-competitive way,” Aileen said. Coates Hire recognises the benefit of this peer networking opportunity and has offered their facilities to host the mate2Manager programs nationally, where and when available. Queensland Forklifts has also offered to host a session at its Luscombe site in Queensland. “There are lots of small businesses in the hire industry who may not consider it effective to run a program for just one manager or supervisor. Using the Coates Hire facilities allows us to run a program with a mix of managers from different companies who then can network while learning” The program will roll out in each state and program cost is $350 plus GST pp per module. n Contact Stephanie Hiskins on 0488 777 278 or email: steph@sa-training.com.au Upcoming dates Mate to Manager – the first module – Manage your Mates Tuesday 10 September 2019 10am-2pm 150 South Gippsland Hwy, Dandenong VIC To be hosted by Coates Hire Tuesday 8 October 2019 10am-2pm 6 Greenhills Ave, Moorebank NSW To be hosted by Coates Hire Tuesday 12 November 2019 10am-2pm 10 Stephens Way, Luscombe QLD To be hosted by Queensland Forklifts HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS AUGUST 2019 P13 INDUSTRY IN FOCUS 1300 ASTERISK (1300 278 374) www.asterisksanitation.com.au For the best in International Sanitation Products. • Powerful 0.5 hp air conditioner • Elegant hand wash basin & fitout • Large waste tank & water tank • State of the Art Technology • Breaks down Paper &Waste • Toughest Odour Control • Non-Staining, Deep Blue Colouring • ‘Fresh’, ‘Bubblegum’ or ‘Tangerine’ • Formaldahyde free • Hands-free flushing system • Stainless steel tissue dispenser • Solar powered LED lighting REVOLUTION 2.0: HIGH TECH, EFFICIENT, ELEGANT.
