34 | SSAA CONVENTION 2019
SERVICE MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARD
CENTREFORCE TECHNOLOGY GROUP - QLD Centreforce is proud of their achievements in Self Storage in Australia, they were the first to create online moveins globally, and they strive via their culture to make a difference to every self storage owner and work tirelessly with suppliers to help them improve their products. The R6 Digital brand is now the largest self storage specific marketing agency in the southern hemisphere and is achieving results by getting more rentals for self storage facilities every month in this new digital age. By introducing SiteLink to Australia has given owners more choice with the brand growing beyond expectations.
HR CENTRAL – VIC HR Central supports the SSAA member base by providing the HR Help Desk. The service provides members with the opportunity to call and receive support and advice as a part of their membership for no additional cost. In addition to this, more and more SSAA members are taking up HR Central’s HR Review, Software, Support and Advice to not only get answers to questions but track and maintain records around employees covering things like policy reading, leave, qualifications and more. In addition to this, HR Central continues to support the SSAA with information and education both written (Insider magazine) and in person (events, convention, round tables, training, etc.).
IBIDONSTORAGE NSW With an original vision of capitalising on the success of TV shows such as Storage Wars, iBidOnStorage founders Grant McNamee & Brennan McLoughlin also recognised they could help the self storage industry minimise the risks associated with the selling of customer goods. By providing an industryspecific auction platform, iBidOnStorage would not only improve sale results, but they would also help the industry consolidate the sale process, allowing it to effectively adopt its own standard practice; which in turn would go a long way towards protecting the industry if an individual business was ever legally challenged. And numbers would suggest the industry has not only understood iBidOnStorage’s objective but backed it too.
REGIS BUILT – VIC Regis strives to deliver efficient and cost-effective self storage developments throughout Australia. Their commitment to delivering a high standard product (build) through their network of highly-skilled contractors, ensures they can complete and execute their projects in a professional manner. This is only made possible due to the positive working relationships with all trades required to complete a turnkey solution. Regis ensures that the end product meets the client’s expectations. Being a part of the SSAA, and attending annual conventions, Regis keeps up to date with new innovative storage ideas as well as knowing the self storage market.
Since the website’s launch in August 2016, iBidOnStorage has hosted more than 7500 auctions. It has more than 795 registered seller locations and 12,000 buyers, with buyer numbers growing daily. In 2018, iBidOnStorage was awarded the industry’s Innovation/ Business Initiative Award, and believe they are deserved winners of this years’ Service Member of the Year Award.
