The Australian Land and Groundwater Association (ALGA) hosted their Industry Excellence awards on Friday last week and it was a huge success. The ALGA awards recognise the best in contaminated land and groundwater management in Australia and New Zealand. The core focus of ALGA is to support advances in the prevention, assessment and remediation of contaminated land and groundwater. This was a great opportunity to catch up with some of our existing customers and also to say hello to an old friend of ours – Matthew Potter, Chief Executive Officer of ALGA.
