The IPPE is the world’s largest expo for the Poultry Industry with 25,000 people from around the world visiting. The Grifco Poultry Winch is the leading poultry winch in the Australian market and was showcased at the IPPE by partner- ing with the largest supplier of poultry equipment in the USA which has a global footprint. Commenting on their success at Chamberlain Group’s Graeme Sheekey at the Chore- Time stand displaying their Grifco Poultry Winch the Expo Chamberlain Group’s Head of Operations – Oceania, Graeme Sheekey, said, “Our plan is to supply Australian made winches to Chore-Time who will distribute throughout USA, Canada and Mexico in 2020 and potentially in Asia down the track.” Chore-Time is one of the world’s largest providers of poultry and egg production systems and the Grifco poultry feeder and drinker winch, which is designed for Australian conditions, are recognised throughout the Australian poultry indus- try as the benchmark for workmanship and reliability. Mr Sheekey said that the company has two other projects on the go that will see them export to USA and Middle East. “If all Real Estate Academy joins with Realtair March saw East Gosford based national real estate training and systems development company, Real Estate Academy, join forces with Australian PropTech innovator, Realtair. The acquisition by Realtair, a middleware platform serving the real estate industry, represents a deal that places the compa- ny at the forefront of progressive technol- ogy development and delivery in Australian real estate. Realtair CEO and Founder, Peter Matthews, said they had been working with Real Estate Academy Founder and CEO, Lee Woodward, over the past two years to refine this collaboration. “Lee and his team are experts at the onboarding, delivery and training of real estate technology,” said Matthews. “The Real Estate Academy sales training platform dovetails seamlessly with the entire Realtair sales process workflow of Pitch, Sign, AuctionNow and Flow. Our cli- ents will receive world class service delivery when signing up for our solutions.” Mr Woodward said, “It’s a crazy world at present. So to be offered the chance to expand at a time when, like so many busi- nesses right now, we were facing the very real potential of closing our doors after more than twenty years in business, was incredible. My team and I are now part of a team of 150 in two countries and I am proud to say that 61 Webb Street, East Gosford is now officially the new Realtair headquarters.” (L-R) LeeWoodward, Peter Matthews, Damien Cooley (AuctionNow) Buying or selling a quality business, contact the experts on the Central Coast. 024332 6555.
