December 2009 - Appeal for support from Hasler Company

Our grateful thanks go to everyone who contacted us following our recent appeal on behalf of a Hasler Company member who is looking for advice and support on a career in the Outdoor Industry

The process is going to take some time, but all information has been passed on and will be responded to in the New Year.

We are also very grateful for the very swift and positive offer of help received on behalf of the Hasler Company member who appealed for information regarding a career move to the Off-Shore Oil industry.

The response from C Group members was tremendous and proves that there is an enormous capacity for support amongst the business community networks for which both we and Hasler Company are sincerely grateful.
