Welcome to Indigenous Business Month!

October 1 marked the start of Indigenous Business Month, which has been held in October each year since 2015.

As a way of commemorating the occasion, some of our Team Leaders have helped us put together case studies on their engagement with the Indigenous business sector and some things for you to think about to give you a leg up on the competition.

Thanks to Justin Clark, Bernie Nolan, Aaron Ohl and Mitch Grimmer, we’ve created four business profiles, which we will reveal across Indigenous Business Month.

At any time, Hutchies is working with around 60 Indigenous businesses to the tune of around $10m per annum.

3 - 8 March / Weather Alert

Tropical Cyclone Alfred / Preparations for South East Queensland

With the threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred tracking towards SEQ and forecast to make landfall from Thursday onwards, it is extremely important that we prepare our projects the best we can.

If all projects between Bundaberg and Byron Bay could today start the process of storm / cyclone preparations.

This should be completed and documented using the Inspections > Site Shut Down - Cyclone Preparation Checklist F-084-C tab located on HammerTech.

Please note, any project that has an erected tower crane will also need to ensure they have updated documented advice from their crane engineer outlining the correct weathervane radius, this should be specific to your project.

Hutchies' owned and managed cranes can coordinate this through Bradley Beck, all third party supplied cranes will need to actioned with their nominated representatives.
