POAAL's Business Seminar was a great success[/caption]Tor Bowen gave a comprehensive presentation on the finance options available to Contractors and Licensees for their businesses, including vehicle finance and refinancing LPOs.David Bates from Workforce Guardian ensured that none of those present will ever be complacent about employment matters ever again. He detailed some of the penalties that can be imposed upon employers for seemingly trivial breaches of employment legislation. POAAL has negotiated a special POAAL member rate for Licensees and Contractors to access Workforce Guardian's services. See their ad in the most recent edition of Postal News or The Contractors' Post.Cameron Bott from GWS Network spoke on risk management options available to Licensees and Contractors, especially with regard to staff issues.Rounding off proceedings was Nino Ruscitti from Marlow & Co business brokers, who gave some tips on how to prepare your LPO for sale along with a brief overview of the market.Following the great response from Licensees to this seminar and the seminar recently held in Sydney, POAAL will hold more Business Seminars around Australia in 2013.
