AIRC

 The Provet Group and Animal Industries Resource Centre (AIRC)/Crampton Consulting Group (CCG) have benefited from a close working relationship for many years. Overtime we have recognised the many synergistic opportunities and economies of scale available to both companies, and as a result we are excited to announce that as of Friday 1st September 2006, The Provet Group and AIRC/CCG have officially merged.

We strongly believe that the range of goods and services that the combined companies can offer will greatly benefit the veterinary profession and allied animal care industries. These include nationally accredited education in many arenas including Veterinary Nursing, Companion Animal and Urban Animal Management. We also offer other professional educational and consulting programs such as Pet Grooming, Pre Vocational options, Inventory Control, Practice Development and Management Services, Customer Service, Personal Development, Mystery Shopper, Clinical Thinking Veterinary Nursing, Technical Excellence and much more on both a national and international basis. 

Both Sue Crampton and Mark Hardwick will continue to work with the AIRC/CCG in their present roles and all clients and suppliers who have currently engaged the services of the AIRC/CCG, will continue to experience the high standard of care and service they have become accustomed to. The current AIRC/CCG staff are excited by the merger, and look forward to joining forces with the Provet team.
