Achieve More Workshops really help you achieve more!

A series of Achieve More Workshops is being hosted by HewSaw Pty Ltd and its Single Source Alliance Partners in February 2013. The Single Source Alliance has been established from among a select group of machinery, equipment, services and technology suppliers to help meet the challenges facing the industry and the recognised desire for an efficient system solution from a group of professional partners, each recognised experts in their respective fields and experienced at working together to achieve more.

“Hence, HewSaw has instigated a series of one-day “Achieve More” Workshops to be conducted in several major centres,” said Sam Rowe, regional sales manager for HewSaw.
“There is no cost to attend this event – and you are welcome to bring your key personnel with you as well. We just ask that book with us by 15 January. [For more information, please contact Sam Rowe on +61 (0) 418 561 023 or [email protected]. Or simply complete the RSVP form enclosed and return it by 15 January.]
Sam said that by hosting the Achieve More Workshops, the aim was to provide industry with an opportunity to gain an insight into the latest technology developments from Scandinavia, and with partners from Canada and New Zealand, will be presenting some international case studies of challenges met, solutions designed and projects delivered with the assistance and know-how of the Single Source Alliance.
“Take this opportunity to explore the competitive edge available from these expert alliance partners. At each Achieve More Workshop there will be time allocated to facilitate one-on-one meetings with any of the alliance partners if you have a particular interest you would like to explore further.
“We have made every effort to source locations and venues that will be convenient to access, but recognise that sometimes it may be necessary to travel overnight to attend the Achieve More Workshop nearest you. Therefore, we also warmly invite you to be our guest for dinner, and where possible we have negotiated some attractive rates from our venue hotels to assist with accommodation if you require it,” said Sam.
The specialist workshops will be held:
12 February, Melbourne
14 February, Brisbane
19 February, Rotorua
21 February, Nelson
