I want to move out of GSB and channel all our purchasing through CSC because CSC has no membership fees and will give back to the work of the Kingdom whereas GSB costs us $3400 per annum (it was $6800) and do not share their profits.  CSC, formerly Christian Supply Chain, is working in partnership with AllChurches Bureau, the group that I am part of that works on the insurance needs for all the major denominations as well as taxation and other government legislation of interest to us.

There are similar pricing arrangements with the main suppliers we commend – Beaurepaires, Carters, Bunnings, Fonterra, Quality Bakers, Corporate Express, Office Max, Ecolab, Goodman Fielder, Mastertrade, Guthrie Bowron, etc, etc.  If you have accounts with any of these suppliers then please ask them to transfer the attachment to the CSC Buying Group.  CSC also offers cash cards which enable you to get the discounted pricing when paying cash. The full list of suppliers will be included with the mailing to Secretaries next week.

One effect of this will be that the BP Fuel Card will be replaced with a Shell Card over coming months as we can have BP only via GSB which will terminate in June 2011.  Shell is now a NZ owned company and has 226 service stations through the country.  Therefore if you currently have a BP card you can swap to Shell or our other supplier Mobil.  If you do not currently make use of this discounted fuel purchasing deal then now is a good time to take it up.  For application papers in either instance This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
