Ninness
Murrurundi Sand and Gravel, located
on Mayne Street in Murrurundi, provided
earth moving machinery, gravel, contracting
and general machinery for the 2004
Bickham Coal bulk sample.
Laurie Ninness,
owner of Murrurundi Sand and
Gravel, said that he supports
the coal mine because it creates
employment in the area.
“The bulk sample generated business and exposure for Murrurundi Sand
and Gravel,” Mr Ninness said. “It’s good for the town
to keep business in the area”.

Robyn
Orman
Bickham Coal utilised the professional
suite at The Community Technology
Centre (CTC) at Murrurundi on Mayne
Street to conduct interviews for
employment positions. The CTC also
provided other facilities to Bickham
during the 2004 bulk sample such
as the use of photocopiers and fax
machines, as well as advertising
and the production and distribution
of flyers.
Robyn Orman
who has been the CTC Officer
for almost two years said that
the centre provided an air-conditioned
environment for Bickham Coal
employees to use.
“CTC benefited greatly by offering services to Bickham Coal as it generated
advertising for the centre,” Ms Orman said. “It also had
people using the centre, keeping us in business”. |
