Visiting our Industries

We love getting out and about to see and hear how our industries are doing. Diane (on the right) recently visited Greenacres Turf Group to meet Eva from WA Turf Industry, Tony from Sports Turf Association and Matt from Turf Australia. It was a great opportunity to hear about the skills shortages they face and discuss possible solutions. There was also much admiration of some magnificent turf.

Is there a shortage of workers in your industry? Are there skills gaps? We’d love to hear your views. Let us know by completing our 10-minute survey, or call us:
