Looking for a financial adviser? 6 expert tips to find the best one for you

Hey Everyone, Welcome to the 124th edition of the Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine.

I can’t believe its Easter in a couple of months, where have the first three months gone this year? Well, its been another massive month with training in regional areas and attending three National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) events, in Brisbane, Toowoomba and Hervey Bay. These have been really well attended and they have attributed to us finding more apprentices.

Whilst in those areas it was great to spend some time training the local apprentices with me catching up with almost 20 of my regional apprentices over the few days I was in those areas.

If you are in QLD, we are starting to get a list of people looking at getting into the trade, we are also in the process of expanding our Jobs Board on the Painting Apprenticeships site to go National. This will be going lave in the coming month. We will let you know as soon as it’s live.

We are hearing that work is starting to slow in some areas, we believe this has to do with the 10th rate rise and the increase in living costs, I don’t think its time to panic, however, I would suggest you have a look at your budgets and make sure you are ready if your workload slows down.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter.
