Q. What trends can you see emerging in the industry?
The industry is definitely moving towards an infrastructure boom with the tunnel, rail, and road upgrades currently underway and in planning. The trend is definitely for big cranes, large-scale project management, and complex, detailed lift solutions. The next 5-10 years will see some amazing projects which will allow some very talented people the opportunity to display their skills and business capabilities. It is a very exciting time to be involved in not only the crane industry but also the construction industry.
Q. What’s the BD team’s vision / growth plans?
We can’t give away too many secrets here 🙂 However, our vision is simple to provide the best service possible through a deep understanding of our clients, their businesses, and their project needs. We will then use our knowledge to engage all the different departments within Premier Cranes to provide detailed, bespoke lifting solutions which are executed with that #teamlifting can-do attitude.
Q. Anything else you’d like to mention?
We look forward to meeting and partnering with as many of the Premier clients as possible, developing strong long-lasting relationships, and being involved in some exciting projects that will shape Victoria’s future.
