We are so excited for the return of the Associate Development Day after a 3-year break due to a little thing called Covid.  This year it will be hosted at the Lancemore Mansion Hotel at the beautiful Werribee Park.

We have been working hard behind the scenes putting together an informative and engaging agenda and an invitation to register has been sent to your inbox!

To ensure the success of our event we would love it if you could join us on the day.  As they say, ‘the more, the merrier’!  It is also a wonderful opportunity for Associates to meet the CT Management Group staff and other Associates.
