The Smithy Telegraph Welcome to the second edition of the bi-monthly ‘Smithy Telegraph’!

Quotes of the Quarter –
“Inspect what you expect or you will lose your respect!” Another quote by the oldest and wisest Master (the Pope), Steve Jensen! You may have seen him in
Sydney last week at World Youth Week.
“Once you surrender to your vision, success begins to chase you.” Words of inspiration from Sydney’s North Shore – Mark Mcnulty.
From the Director…
Where has the last 2 months gone??? That is what I have been asking
myself anyway and I am sure you feel the same. Winter is here but you
only have to blink and it will be over, maybe in the South Island you
have to blink a few more times. Things are still progressing well and
the last 2 months have seen us opening up more offices in both
countries and appointing more builders to partner with us. So each
week the 'Smithy clan' continues to grow more and more as builder's
realise the strengths and advantages of joining our team and we seem
to be attracting high quality award winning builders too. The last 2 months I have been to Sydney,
Melbourne, Adelaide, North and South Islands of NZ and it is great to see the teams in each area
starting to increase. Until I see you again, it is ‘heads down’ time for all of us.
