After our last Tradie Tour in November, you told us that you would like more information on technical issues within the building and construction industry. Our next Tradie Tour will be in May and will be focused on Termite Management.

Come along and pick up valuable tips from our industry expert, Mark Porter, to ensure your clients quite literally aren’t eaten out of house and home!
