“We’re a small team at Asga, but after a couple of years of Covid disruptions, we’re making a real effort this year to host events around the nation,” said Asga events manager, Michael Punch, saying that the pre-golf networking evening event was held at the Espy Club in St Kilda the week before, and was attended by 15 people.
“There are many benefits for getting the industry together: there’s the fun and social aspect, and then there’s the sharing of knowledge and business challenges, which can help with fostering a positive outlook.
“Hosting a golf day and networking evening in Victoria has been on our agenda for some time. We’re pleased with the turnout and positive feedback from attendees. All agreed the event should become a regular one on the industry calendar,” Punch added, thanking the sign companies who supported the event, many of whom he noted, had brought along key clients as guests.
