Since 1969 Cordell has been the leading authority and innovator on construction project activity and cost information in Australia. Delivered in real-time, fully-researched data and associated software solutions are used extensively in a wide range of industries including building suppliers and service providers, manufacturing, property, finance and insurance by professionals who appreciate the value of reliable, timely and comprehensive information. I'm extremely proud to have left Cordell on a high note, with it having continued an unbroken run of 15 years of consecutive growth, with FY15 itself setting a new record. This could not have been achieved without the 150 dedicated staff continuing to deliver exceptional services and solutions to customers and by staying true to core values of treating people with dignity and respect.My departure follows on from having worked closely with members of my Senior Management Team and M & A partners Investec, KPMG and Allens in orchestrating the successful divestment of Cordell from Reed Business Information to CoreLogic RP Data as well as having contributed towards the integration process itself.
