ASSOCIATION PRINCIPAL SPONSOR ANNOUNCED

HIANZ REcENTLY INVITED all their Associate Suppliers to ‘throw their hat in the ring’ to become our Principal Sponsor for the next three calendar years. This prestigious appointment isn’t all about a financial commitment, it’s also about working in partnership with the association as we jointly strengthen our ties promoting HIANZ as an association of likeminded people to all prospective members. So, in order to find the best fit for both us and a supplier willing to take up the position of Principal Sponsor, we asked interested parties to submit a proposal on the things that as an association we need to receive from the relationship. These were: • The promotion of our industry to the wider market, specifically HIANZ members. • The Promotion of membership to the association of businesses involved in hire. • Advertising and advertorial contributions to our

Association magazine. • Training for Association members on products and processes adopted

and aligned to our good practices and standards • Providing support towards industry wide technical and/or safety improvement initiatives the Association may initiate or be involved in. • Financial contribution to HIANZ events and conferences. • Adding value to our members subscription to the Association. • Allowing us to provide added services to the Association members. • It’s not all about the money, it’s the full encompassing solution to promote the Association to our members, other hire companies, and the wider commercial market. The concept is to be at the forefront of support to the Association and our membership base. Adding tangible value to the membership will be vitally important. Over the past years, Youngman Richardson have fulfilled this role impeccably and after evaluating all our options we see it fit to continue the relationship with them. Talking with Ed and Phil about the opportunity to continue our relationship, Phil said “We hope that over the past four years we have demonstrated our ability and commitment to consistently deliver the value and support sought by HIANZ.” Ed added “Our overall approach will continue to be a collaborative one with a focus on building an even stronger relationship as we jointly navigate business challenges and opportunities unique to the Hire Industry.” We couldn’t agree more, Youngman Richardson has proven to be more than financially supportive of the association. We constantly use their premises for meetings and training. Even our members agree they are a very accommodating supplier, with Josiah at NZ Machine Hire saying, “We have had nothing but positive experiences with YR and look forward to a continued business relationship.” We congratulate and thank Youngman Richardson on their appointment as HIANZ Principal Sponsor we also thank Ed, Phil, and the whole team at YR for their continued support of the Association. Thank them yourselves, by supporting them too! ■
