This exciting prospect, for both TABMA and Hardware Australia, will provide a stronger voice that is better able to advocate for all members nationally.
Both boards have worked closely when developing a new name and logo for the potentially merged association. It was important to acknowledge the 80-year history of TABMA and to also properly welcome Hardware Australia members.
The proposed name is highly inclusive and the logo honours TABMA’s legacy retaining its important equity. If the merge is approved by members, the merged association will be called the National Timber and Hardware Association.
“We are incredibly proud of the work that has been done to develop a strong proposition for members of both TABMA and Hardware Australia,” David Little, CEO, TABMA Australia, said.
“We believe bringing our two associations together will provide great benefits to our industries including access to a larger network, more resources, and a stronger and unified voice.”
It is a significant decision for members however, both boards are confident the approval of the merger will deliver numerous benefits to all members with the overall goal of the merged entity to serve members and provide them with the best opportunities for success.
