A NEW YEAR AND A NEW APPROACH The first quarter of 2020 will see the SSAA role out our online industry training modules. Work is well underway and will see the role out of 11 Self Storage Modules. We have consulted with members to ascertain demand for learning. We aim to produce a flexible, adaptable learning and development platform that can be utilized by members anywhere any time. With members based all around Australia and New Zealand from small country towns to large CBD areas in rural and regional areas the SSAA will be bringing training to you.
Our training modules will be launched in conjunction with updated versions of our Australian core Agreements ensuring that the training we deliver will offer new learnings.
These are exciting times for the SSAA as we plant the seeds to grow our learning platform. Our data and member feedback will be an essential element for future planning.
Congratulations to Hunt & Hunt Lawyers celebrating their 90th year Hunt & Hunt was established in 1929 by brothers Hector (Bob) and Edward (Ted) Hunt. The firm started out as an insurance and conveyancing law firm, just as Australia was entering the Great Depression. In the years leading up to World War II, Hunt & Hunt expanded the team at its Sydney office. During the war, the firm’s insurance and workers’ compensation practices boomed, largely due to the firm’s association with the National Employers Mutual General Insurance Company of London. After the war, migrants arrived and settled in Sydney, starting a period of post-war prosperity that saw the firm’s conveyancing practice grow rapidly. Hunt & Hunt remained a family-run firm throughout this period, and in the early 1950s Ted’s sons Ian and David joined the firm. The Sydney and Melbourne offices have been working collaboratively and consistently since 1991.Today, the firm has a strong national footprint with federated offices in Sydney, North Ryde, Melbourne, Darwin, Brisbane and Perth.

Hunt and Hunt have been working with the SSAA and its members since 2017. Team members from the SSAA were invited to the 90th birthday celebrations at Rockpool in Melbourne in October last year.
