Independent members go one-on-one with trade partners.

 

Dealer group ASA-Australia invited suppliers to dinner at Rydges Parramatta last week, prior to the group’s annual one-on-one ‘Dialogue Day’.

 

ASA chairman Gordon Whittaker (Adelaide Direct Stationers) thanked suppliers for their on-going support for the compact group, which now comprises five member companies.

 

Suppliers participated in 20-minute sessions with ASA members “to develop business solutions and devise marketing plans to suit their individual needs.”

 

The ASA membership comprises Adelaide Direct Stationers, Bennetts Office Supplies (Katoomba), Impact Office Supplies (Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast), Blue Ink Group (ACT) and OfficeTrend/Sharp Electronics (Newcastle).
