February 2010 – The Building Service Contractors Association of Australia (BSCAA) has appointed two new state executives in Victoria and Western Australia.
John Clohessy.
John Clohessy has been appointed as the BSCAA’s Victorian executive director, and Shannon Daniels has been named WA branch president.
Clohessy, who is also an associate member of the Facility Managers Association of Australia (FMAA), brings with him extensive knowledge of commercial cleaning and the hospitality industry.
His commercial experience spans the areas of hospitality, health services, computer software, facilities management and consulting to the property industry, with a strong focus on human resources and industrial relations.
“My strong consultancy background will provide BSCAA members with valuable resources through planned training activities,” Clohessy says. “Some of the areas that future training sessions will focus on include sustainable work practices, developing contract documentation, management of service delivery and monitoring contractual compliance, strategies to engage your staff in building their career path, understanding the new award and strategies to develop a profitable business.”
The past year, he notes, saw the state and national committees devote much of their time and effort to the complex national IR and national award structure. “Now that most issues have been addressed, our committee will be more focused on state issues.”

In 2010 Daniels plans to use his innovative approach for the benefit of the cleaning and asset maintenance industry and to advance the industry’s position through his appointment as the BSCAA WA president.
He says he intends to make BSCAA WA more attractive to existing and prospective members by fostering relationships with other services providers in various industries and by promoting the organisation as the voice of the industry.
