Recently a CSR Conference was held at the Mean Fildders Greenway Room in Rouse Hill, for all CSR Roofing Specialists, being a Sydney Roofing Company, Southern Cross Roofing were invited to attend.
Many CSR employees were key speakers at the conference including Brian Doherty. Brian spoke about the down turn in the market and the likely predictions for the future which he enhanced by providing graphs.
Brians discussions were based around all things that relate to and effect the CSR Specialists, such as, New Roofs, Re Roofs, extensions and briefly touching on roof repairs.
Linda Kosl then delivered information on marketing and how best to promote the CSR Roofing Specialist. Suggestions included promoting on social networking sites such as twitter, Tv advertising on The Lifestyle channel on foxtel and general information on updating websites.
Work Safety representatives also made an appearance to reiterate on the importance of safety clothing, including roofing harnesses, correct safety shoes and eye protection.
A HIA representative continued on this track by talking about the new 'Working at safe heights code'. He informed us that all states will soon be in harminisation by coming together and using the same 'Working at safe heights code'.
Mark Webster the director of Southern Cross Roofing was then asked to speak about his new venture into the roofing supplies business. Mark has recently opened a new business called Sydney Roof and Building Supplies and provided information on the products available. He started by explaining that Sydney Roof and Building Supplies is a one stop shop in Mount Kuring-Gai that offers a full roofing product range from small but crucial tools like trowels and tape measures all the way to bedding racks and elevators. He explained that a free delivery service is available to your contractors or yourself straight to site. 
Mark focused on 3 main things during the evening:
The first was the new 'Fusion' Nail gun and its capabilities touching briefly on the peg out guide that accompanies it.
The next was roofing clips and the speculation over the pointing code in recent weeks following the cyclone up in Queensland. Mark provided a clip board to highlight the expanse of clips available from Sydney Roof and Building Supplies including not only Fixing Caps, Starter clips and short course clips but a wide variety of head lap clips.
The Acry Flash lead range that is available was the last thing Mark concentrated on, giving a detailed description of what Acry Flash is and the many benefits Mark sees in using this flashing product. He explained that not only is it water tank friendly but it offers a more durable alternative to other flashing products and more importantly being the same cost as lead.
As Southern Cross Roofing are New-Roof, Re-roof, roof extension and roof repairs specialists, we were recently one of very few roofing specialist companies to be invited along to to the exclusive CSR specialist conventions.
