CHG-MERIDIAN Australia joins EFC Network as Platinum Partner

The Essendon Football Club is thrilled to announce that equipment leasing company, CHG-MERIDIAN Australia (CHG-MERIDIAN), has joined as a Platinum Partner of the EFC Network.

CHG-MERIDIAN help their customers acquire, manage and refresh their IT, Healthcare and Industrial equipment. With advanced financial engineering and solution design, their customers are able to keep up-to-date with the latest technology, reduce costs and optimise their resources.

For over 45 years, CHG-MERIDIAN’s business model has been based on the principles of the circular economy. Active in 31 countries with over 1,300 employees, they are a trusted technology partner by organisations all over the world.

CHG-MERIDIAN had a taste of what the EFC Network has to offer last year under their subsidiary brand, Equigroup, where they experienced firsthand the terrific value the Business Network provides. Now, they are joining us as a Platinum Partner which will not only help elevate their brand across all EFC Network channels but also raise awareness on how they can help Australian organisations unlock their best technological, sustainable and economic potential.

“It is our second year supporting the EFC Business Network and advancing to the platinum level presents an exciting opportunity for both CHG-MERIDIAN and other members. Our experience last year was just a glimpse of how valuable the Network really is. The Network is not only growing, but equally full of people and organisations who are genuinely looking to support each other’s success.” – Josh Keen, Financial Solutions Engineer – CHG-MERIDIAN Australia.

“We are proud to welcome CHG-MERIDIAN as Platinum Partner of the EFC Business Network”, says Carli Cook, Head of Fundraising & EFC Network at Essendon Football Club. “Their world-class expertise in maximising technology investments and designing cost-efficient IT leasing and as-a-service solutions will undoubtedly provide great value to our business members.”

 From laptops and mobile phones to forklifts and machinery, CHG-MERIDIAN support their customers with end-to-end solutions. Their holistic approach includes consulting, procurement, finance, in-life management, data deletion and sustainable equipment disposal.

 “We are proud to support 13,000 customers finance and manage $14.8 billion of technology equipment across the world. The relationships we have built are based on trust, transparency and a genuine passion for collaboration. From SME’s to large corporate and government entities, we are committed to delivering and maximising value at every stage of the technology lifecycle. We are experiencing major growth here in Australia, and we are dedicated to fostering connections, sharing insights, and leveraging the Network to its fullest potential.” – Josh Keen, Financial Solutions Engineer – CHG-MERIDIAN Australia.

“The World Economic Forum states that production of IT devices, such as laptops and smartphones, will account for 14% of total greenhouse emissions by 2040. What’s more, the e-waste problem is growing, and as a result, sustainability is becoming a growing concern for business leaders. CHG-MERIDIAN is a valuable partner for the Network, particularly for those who are embarking on a sustainability journey. Currently, most businesses are in the process of reviewing their current IT solutions, making sure they have the right equipment and partner to support them. I am excited to work with CHG-MERIDIAN on the opportunities to support our business members.”– Carli Cook, Head of Fundraising & EFC Network – Essendon Football Club.

 In the three core areas of IT, industrial technology, and healthcare technology, CHG-MERIDIAN combine technical expertise and financial engineering. They support their customers along the entire lifecycle, from procurement, through the use phase and at the end of life, where they securely erase the data and refurbish the technology to give it a second life. They are not tied to specific manufacturers or banks and collaborate closely with businesses to develop a sustainable, customised business concept.
