Archive for September, 2010

The Ray White Group would like to publicly acknowledge the business partners and suppliers who have openly supported our Canterbury members on request after the devastation of the September 4^th earthquake.  These companies have gone out of their way to provide our members a collective relief package that we believe will enable our offices and sales teams to continue to trade through this most difficult period.

Our relief package has been made possible through our direct business partners MyDesktop, Trade Me Property, Ray White Technology, Ray White Online, Google Mapping, Agreement Writer, IDI and Campaign Track. Other supplier businesses that are part of our relief package include Property Press, Terralink, Fuji Xerox, Vodafone and Telecom.  These partners provide essential services to the continuation of marketing property for sale on behalf of Ray White clients.

We thank all the above suppliers and ask that, where possible, we provide support to them in return.

More on the meeting in Canterbury and the release of Ray White Relief package can be seen in this weeks CEO comments.

The Ray White Group is pleased to announce the 2011 International Conference to be held at the Grand Hyatt Bali, Nusa Dua between 25^th – 28^th June 2011.
