Chairman’s Report

We are preparing for our first online AGM and I am excited about welcoming members to the first in-person event this year.

Ivor Morgan, Chairman SSAA

On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome Hans Pearson and congratulate him on his election to the board of directors for the SSAA. Hans was elected to represent the Large Operator Members category. Hans brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Board and has been involved in the self storage industry since 2008. His CV is very impressive and highlights the level of experience and achievements that will make him a very valuable board member to help steer the future direction of the association.

We also welcome back David Daddow who has been re-elected for a second 3-year term to represent the Regular Members category. Thankyou David for your continued support of the SSAA. Due to COVID-19, previously hosted Open Days could not be held in person. The Executive team quickly came up with an alternative solution to deliver this and the SSAA Industry Week 2020 was born. This initiative was well attended and was still able to deliver informative sessions via a digital platform and offered all involved a small taste of how our SSAA 2021 online Convention will be run.

I am looking forward to the New Year and lots of work is going on in the background with Susan and the SSAA team organising and pulling everything together for the SSAA online Convention scheduled for March 2021.

In closing the year out, I would like to wish all our members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in what has been a challenging 2020. l
