Case Study: Over the Summer Break, you were lucky enough to land a Business Cadetship with Krapston Blinds & Decor, a new Blinds, Shutters & Interior Decoration/Fitout company in Wollongong specializing in Interior Blinds and Décor.

This is a problem as it means we have had to pay contractors a lot of money and the company stands to lose out as a result. We need to protect our reputation. Our main shareholder Dennis is on our backs telling us 'we can't let this go - if you give in once in business, you will end up copping it again and again - we can't let these people off the hook ! " We really have to try and resolve this
