Late notice about tomorrows meeting..... Safety first Bupa safety watch alarm watch.

Carol Winters from Age Concern Havelock North

Believe it or not, there is now NZ’s first GPS based watch connected to a round the clock response centre. What does this mean for you?? Well there are many safety applications for sole workers out and about but also if you are reliant on a health alarm in the house and feel house bound these watches will take that worry away. Its as simple as pushing a button on the watch and you'll be connected through to a 24/7 contact centre.. I've had a demo today and was blown away by it.

Tomorrow we are having Hawkes Bays first live demonstration of this product.
Location: The hall at the rear of St Lukes Church - Te Mata road
Time: Presentation will start at 10 but come along earlier for a cup of tea.
If you're interested but can't make it we'll be having demonstrations at our Expo in September also. If you would like more info about this then let me know and I can put you on a list to be the first to get a brochure when they become available.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
