Our Associates Day at Waurn Ponds Estate was a day of reflection and invigoration with the launch of the new CTMG brand and an array of guest speakers. Associates, Alliances and Council CEO’s and CTMG staff were welcomed by our Chairman Hon. Jeff Kennett AC.

Our Chairman opened the Day by launching a new brand for the company which he believed indicated the “trust “ he felt the new brand embodied between CTMG, its staff, clients and Associates. “I strongly believe our brand is reflected in our reputation that has been developed by the expertise, competency, dedication and consistency of our Associate team.”
