KSS Murarrie Welcomes SSAA Delegates From Australasia

T his year’s SSAA August 18 share experiences and strengthen industry knowledge through keynote speakers and breakout sessions. The first day of the Conference was specif- ically designed for new Storage Centre Operators and people looking at getting into the World of storage. Conference sessions provided insight and support for delegates and also included a few storage centre visits. Queensland’s newest Kennards facility at Murarrie was requested by the SSAA to show case on the afternoon of Wednesday 22nd August. Conference was held in Brisbane, where Association Members new and old came together to network,

our welcome. I must say it is a little daunting knowing your competitors are all heading your way in a bus!! Make that two buses! I am pleased to say the afternoon went off without a hitch. We split each bus of 70 into groups of about 15 and after a brief welcome and general overview of the facility from our Kennards Team of Tour Guides, we headed off in different directions to cover all aspects of our Murarrie centre. Sharing insight and facts about Kennards Murarrie, each group was on site for approximately 45 minutes, taking photos and asking questions of the Team. There were lots of ooh and aah moments over our loading bay and its ability to cater to trucks of all sizes with its six metre high ceiling. Also the retail space and Size It room, our visual space guide for our customers ,and also the fact we provide a tea and coffee area for our customers. A big thank you goes out to The Murarrie Team Mazen Trabolsi and Jason Fort for presenting our centre so well and to all the Tour Guides who left their own centre to assist with sharing the KSS FREEDOM values with our visitors - Glen D’souza and Team Northlakes, David Bauze and Team Newstead, Kellie Robley and Team Browns Plains, a real Kennards effort all round, thank you.

Our Centre Team Mazen and Jason jumped at the chance to show their amazing centre. Setting the plan in place to be ready for the big day saw, lawns freshly mowed, roller doors cleaned as well as general property maintenance performed. We needed to insure the weather was just right on the day for all the Kiwis and the Victorians attending. On the afternoon of the big day with the sun shining (as planned) we were also joined by Sonal and Jelena from THQ who were in Brisbane attending the conference. Both became great moral support for the Team. As the arrival of our guests approached we reviewed our information and planned
