C-Res (Qld) Pty Ltd was recognized for its ongoing commitment to local business communities by being

held in Mackay on Friday 21 May 2015.
Tracey Cuttriss-Smith, Manager of C-Res stated that she was “extremely honored by the award as
connecting with the business communities in the Mackay Region and across the Bowen Basin is a priority of

The BMA Local Buying Program is a targeted program providing opportunities for small to medium
businesses, based in BMA and BMC’s identified communities of interest, to competitively supply goods and
services to BMA and/or BMC (BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal).
Since July 2012, C-Res on behalf of BMA and BMC have processed nearly 4,500 work opportunities to over
650 local businesses valuing $47.1M dollars.
Another element of the BMA Local Buying Program that C-Res is proud to administer on behalf of BMA and
BMC is the Local Buying Community Foundation. For every transaction that is processed through the BMA
Local Buying Program a financial contribution is made to the Foundation. The foundations priorities are
Building Sustainable Futures and Building Sustainable Business Communities.
