Associates – Your Preferred Suppliers
TEJ PANESAR, CMPA Associate Chairperson reflects on the status of Associate Members as your Preferred Suppliers.
THE CMPA Associate Members have always played a vital role in bringing quality products and value-added services to the Voting Members. The coherence of the relationship has brought a sense of belonging and partnership that allows the comfort and freedom of a healthy interaction.
At every step in the business relationship, the Associates have put their best foot forward to support the cause of the Quarries and Cement Mix plants. The Voting Members in turn have supported these suppliers and have now formalised their position by treating these Associates as their preferred suppliers.
Stickers have been issued that can be affixed by the Associates to their Vehicles and their quotes to reflect the preferred supplier status.
Th is will encourage a greater interaction with the site teams and Associates.
The Associates Directory, an exclusive reference manual of the CMPA, updated with the latest information on products and services along with Associates profiles, is now in hot circulation and will be available at every operational site and Voting member office and easily accessible to the operational staff and buyers alike for increased interaction with the Preferred Suppliers.
It is intended to further strengthen the working relationship and bring high quality products and services at competitive prices to the users. I would personally request and encourage full use of the reference manual to deal with the Associates, yet expecting an ever increasing quality of attention.
The 2013 wall planner has also been released and allows for updating key activities and events at each site and office of both the members and Associates. It has been sponsored by key Associates whose adverts border the planners and is another ready reference with contact details for enhanced interaction. T e use of the planner and its prominent display also shows the pride and strength shared by the group and the bond that the group shares.
The CMPA Management Committee has very proactively supported the Associates and the secretariat has translated it with actions that are truly commendable. This encourages the Associates to support the CMPA with greater resolve and put their heart and soul to a cause.
Together we can make CMPA stronger day by day and present a model of solidarity and purpose.
On behalf of the Associates I wish the CMPA, the Best of Seasons Greetings, a return from a well deserved break and the choicest of wishes for an excellent and successful 2013 and beyond.
