GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE

This years Institute of Mercantile Agents (IMA) conference was held in Sydney and as usual members from all over Australia got together to meet old friends, meet new friends and learn something new along the way.

This year at our conference dinner, in place of our usual entertainment, Alan Harries, the CEO of the IMA, invited Mick Garnett, Head of Marketing and Communications from Variety to come along and tell us about the great work Variety undertake.

After Mick's insight into the hard work Variety perform, it was refreshing to see the IMA's members come together to raise $4500.00 by passing the hat around. I am sure that money has gone to a great cause.

Even yours truly took a hit for the team by challenging one of our finest Agency Managers in the business and Sgt of Arms for the night, Blair Ryan from Access Mercantile to an arm wrestle. Suffice to say the money earned from the challenge was well worth the pain and suffering!

I am so proud to work in an industry with such great men and woman who collectively go about the business of debt collection and field services with integrity, respect and empathy.
