Chairman’s Report

TThis is my final column to you as Chair of SSAA – a role I’ve been privileged to hold and have thoroughly enjoyed for the past three years. Now is the right time to pass on the baton, as I serve my sixth and final year as a Director for SSAA in 2022. The Directors will elect a new Chair at our first meeting of the year and we’ll advise members via STOReFLASH.

Ivor Morgan

Chairman SSAA

At our recent Annual General Meeting we welcomed Thomas Whalan of Rent A Space to the SSAA Board, representing the large operator category. The position became vacant due to the growth of StoreLocal which propelled them into the major operator category and on behalf of the Board and all members, we thank Hans Pearson for his contribution and dedication to the SSAA. Much has changed over the past five years but I’m proud to say our commitment to serving our members has remained steadfast. From strategic planning to governance reviews, establishing committees and working with the SSAA team on a range of new member benefits, events and research projects, I’m proud of the SSAA’s growth and I’m excited to see this next chapter unfold. I’ll be supporting the new Chair during their first year to ensure a smooth transition and will remain an active member in years to come. I look forward to seeing you all in person at some stage next year and until then, I wish you and your family all the best for a safe and happy festive season. l
