As the numbers ticked over, the Local Buying Program team was once again keenly watching as Approved Spend edged toward the $400Million mark toward the end of September.
It didn't quite get there, but it looks like we will be celebrating another milestone in Q2 FY20.
Certainly, this is good news for the organisation and the
Local Buying Program, which we deliver in partnership with BHP.
But what is even more important is the confidence this represents in our regions - and that, in turn, bodes well for our communities.

Onward, upward and all eyes on the future
From C-Res CEO, Tracey Cuttriss-Smith
It has been a powerful start to the new financial year
for C-Res and the Local Buying Program.
For a start, the very fact we are in our seventh year of operation and we have grown from two to 25 staff (and, still, we are growing!) are just dazzling to us and we extremely grateful to everyone who has come along for the journey.
And, what a journey it has been!
As we have realised milestone after milestone and see the numbers of Work Instructions, Registered Suppliers and
Registered Buyers grow, we have also seen our own team strengthen and grow.
