We have been SEMMA members now for a decade; it has been one of the strategic moves that has helped us build our business and get to this point. Who you surround yourself with matters, because those are the voices you hear the most and they influence your thinking the most. So being part of a positive and forward looking organisation like SEMMA has helped us year on year.
