Annual ConferencesAnnual Conferences
We hold an annual, Branch Manager Conference which is attended by a significant number of people across our business. For the last two years, we have held our Conference on the Gold Coast, this year it will be held on the Sunshine Coast. Our Conferences are typically attended by 90 - 100 of our employees including: Branch Managers, Leadership Team Members, Support Office Team Members, Sales Managers and our REACH (Recognition Program) recipients.
Our Conference is an invaluable opportunity to bring our geographically disparate business together to share key business messages, gain valuable feedback, deliver product information and training, hold supplier presentations, business workshops as well as network and strengthen key business working relationships.
We actively seek the feedback of our attendees to determine improvement opportunities for future conferences. The value of our Conferences, summed up in the words of a Branch Manager who recently joined our business: “Excellent, very professional & well organised. I feel great about being part of a company who recognises & values the efforts of their people. I'm looking forward to a bright & rewarding future with Ashdown-Ingram.”
And as equally encouraging, the words of a REACH Recognition Recipient, who at the time of attending Conference was in the role of an Automotive Parts Interpreter: “ Great Conference, my goal is to come back next time as a Branch Manager.” The great news is; the following conference he attended Conference as the newly appointed Branch Manager for his Branch.
