Industry State of Play
The world has thrown up a number of challenges over the last 15 months, and in some ways, the new world order has presented us all with opportunities to analyse and refine the way we do business.
As we tick off the first quarter of 2021, there is a sense of optimism for what the next 12 months may hold in store. In Western Australia in particular the economy is strong, with the credit rating agency S&P recently rating the WA economy as the best in the world. Consumer confidence has been reported at an 11-year high.
We are fortunate indeed to be living in this part of the world.
No doubt this sort of “feedback” will help to maintain confidence across a number of markets, which points to further opportunities for growth moving forward.
Grant Van Elswyk, Sales Manager of MMT feels that these industry figures support what he has been seeing over the last 6 months. ”Reading these sort of figures only solidifies what we are seeing & hearing out there with our customers. Many of them are flat out, and they expect to stay that way, which in turn helps us to stay busy.”
He goes on to say,”it’s pretty important that we keep close to customers, so we can help them get on with their core business activity. Things are pretty fast paced these days, so you need to react pretty quickly in this market.”
