Red Cross New Zealand is the global leader in first aid training. They have provided first aid in New Zealand and throughout the world in teaching and disaster response capacities for over 100 years.  Their courses are based on world-class research and Red Cross’ on-going commitment to quality and excellence.

Red Cross can provide first aid training and courses by qualified instructors to over 70 locations nationwide all aligned with NZQA standards.  All courses are hands-on, where participants gain the practical skills, knowledge and confidence to perform first aid whenever and wherever they might need it.

Debt Collection Services

ICMS is proudly a Kiwi owned and operated business that specialises in recovering debt effectively and efficiently for all its clients.

We understand that cash flow is the blood that keeps a business alive and we also understand how frustrating it can be when you aren’t paid for the goods or services you’ve provided. Trying to collect debt that has gone bad is not only stressful, it can end up costing you more and ultimately detracts from the reason you got into business in the first place.

It’s at this point, you need an established debt collector to manage the situation professionally and effectively to reach a resolution.

With over 25 years of experience in the field, we have a unique and proven effective approach to recovery. Instead of using tired and reactive methods, we aim to be smarter and more pro-active in the way outstanding debt is recovered. By using a different strategy, we have Account Managers who personally manage each debtor file which makes the process much more effective. We service businesses from closely held SME’s to large corporates such as trading banks, telcos and financiers.

We charge a commission for our service which is based on no ‘result, no commission’ and as long as your terms allow it with your client, we can add our costs on top of the original debt which we collect from the debtor. We are supported by modern IT systems and understand all applicable legislation that pertain to our industry so you can expect a professional service at all times.  ICMS offers our members a massive 20% savings on commission.

Signs and Displays are your business, recovering debt is ours. Don’t waste any more of your time doing what we should be. To find out more contact us today on 09 921 4600.
