Christchurch Crumbles...

Tonight my heart is broken for the friends and family affected by the tragic earthquake in my hometown. Scores dead with far worse news to come. I have missing friends and family...my prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Not entirely appropriate but the girls of Madison Violet perform a personal favourite in the previous post that sums up my mood as I write this. I hope you get some joy from it, I always have and take some solace in it tonight. Kia Kaha Christchurch.

V8's Back in action...

The V8 Supercar series kicked off in the Abu Dhabi over the weekend with a fantastic second race which culminated in defending champion James Courtney taking the chequered flag ahead of Jason Bright in the Team BOC Holden. The disappointment on the face of team principal Brad Jones was there for all to see following Bright's second place as he was fighting to record their first ever V8 win. It would have been fantastic to see him cross the line first but Courtney carried too much speed. Bright later admitted that his tyres were going off , which the tv viewing audience would have noticed as he slid around corners trying to hold off Courtney.

Courtney pressed hard in the final laps with the lead swapping a couple of times in the process. It made for great viewing and is the best possible start for the year. Having walked away from the Dick Johnson Ford team after claiming the title at the final race of last season, Courtney will be thrilled to stake his claim so early on in the piece. His team mate, Garth Tander was not so lucky after being hit by a spinning Tim Slade as the field bunched for the first corner. Carnage ensued after Tony D'Alberto ran out of control and caused the mess.

Team Vodafone scored the first race win with Jamie Whindcup finishing comfortably on the top step of the podium. Teammate Craig Lowndes suffered damage from contact with Russell Ingall and thereafter struggled to do anything noteworthy.

All in all the series got away to a flying start. I can't wait to see them home and settling into what has proven, year in year out, to be a great series.

Private Investigations Wide Bay Burnett

DRM GROUP provides specialist Investigation services for the Hervey Bay/Maryborough region. In fact we cover the region from Gympie in the south to Bundaberg in the north with inland locations also catered to. We will also attend to Investigations at more distant locations on request following consultation, which I offer for free and with no obligation to you.

We have been providing personally customised Investigation services throughout this region for more than 5 years now and our skilled Investigator's are all based in the region they cover, ensuring excellent and current local knowledge.

Demands for our services include infidelity - where a husband or wife suspect their partner of not remaining loyal to the marriage. DRM GROUP takes pride in our professional, and discreet approach to these issues which are always stressful for the parties involved. Often however, the suspicions prove to be unfounded, but that is a welcome result for everyone. The investigation can be tailored to your exact requirements, although privacy issues and locations can largely determine the success of the operation. Privacy has never been more protected so you should be aware that I cannot offer a guarantee of a result on some matters. Call me to discuss your issue to learn more if you are at all unsure.

Fraudulent behaviour, which often can include Compensation claims are the bread and butter of the Investigations Industry and we can therefore confidently claim to work to the highest and most current standards and within the laws of the land. We will not engage in any illegal activity however, so if you think your request may border on the edge of that legality, I also offer a free, no obligation consultation service.

DRM GROUP also carry out Commercial Agency duties, from Repossessions to Service of Court Documents for legal matters. 

Simply call my office to take advantage of my fre, no obligation consultation. At the end of the day, I am passionate about maintaining the highest standards of the Investigation Industry and for that reason I need to be sure you are happy with what we can and cannot achieve for you.

I look forward to hearing from you

Security Courses

With the year now having settled in we are back into full swing with Security training and other related pre-employment courses at my Maryborough Office and training base. In fact, such has been the workload that this is the first real opportunity since my day one 2011 entry to post to my blog.

Federally funded PPP scheme places are available for those wishing to enter the Security industry or to further their First Aid knowledge. My experienced trainers also cover areas of expertise such as Private Investigations and qualifications required to become a Workplace Trainer and Assessor.

The year has gotten of to a flying start with all courses keeping the DRM GROUP staff busy. In concert with that our Investigations arm has also been very busy with local Investigations ranging from Surveillance operations concerned with marital issues to the service of legal documents for both private and Corporate clients.

If you are considering the services of an Investigation firm I am happy to provide free, no obligation advice designed to help you make a better informed decision. Call my office or contact me through the contact page on my web site.

The training courses for the coming month are as follows:
PPP Security - Feb 15 - 18 (now fully subscribed)
                       March 1 - 4, places available but filling very quickly
                       March 15 - 18, places available
                       March 29 - April 1, places available

Cash In Transit - Feb 21,  March 10 and 22

Bodyguard - Feb 23, March 8 & 23.

We also offer Generic Inductions for those wishing to find work on mine sites around the country.

All courses offer National recognition through Qld's Premier RTO Morrissey Training, and are facilitated by expert and friendly staff in our comfortable air conditioned office and training room located at 51 Ellena Street in Maryborough, Qld 4650. Only the Certificate II in Security Operations is federally funded however so contact us for a list of our prices for other training on offer.

If you have a requirement to qualify in First Aid then I am happy to discuss your requirements. I can have my trainers come to your choice of venue or utilise the training room at my office. After hours training is available and we will also cater to weekend training if required. Contact us for further information.

I look forward to hearing from you and to fielding any enquiry you may have.

Think Long & Prosper
