“
My experience with MHD has been efficient and straightforward. Over the course of three feature articles, their process has been organised and well-managed, which accommodated a busy schedule. Their regular offers to contribute content online have also provided ongoing opportunities for exposure. The Mercury Awards event was well executed, with strong attendance and high-calibre finalists, further demonstrating MHD’s reach and relevance within the Australian supply chain sector.”
Sam Rowse, Chief Revenue Officer MachShip
