Craig’s aim is to release our full potential in this time of growth and is very much looking Craig Walford forward to taking over the reins as we enter this new season. The first action was to change our strapline: Saving money - because ministry matters to Saving money - because your mission matters Craig says, “As a CSCBG family, we have a duty to be ambassadors for Christ and how our members treat our suppliers, both through the good and bad experiences, is a witness to the fact. It’s not what we do that counts, but it is the manner in which we operate and the way we treat people, that will be the ultimate call. Our day to day work really does have a mission that is bigger than itself.” Craig has been working on setting new standards and expectations to get our suppliers better aligned to the Values of the Christian Supply Chain, and hopes that all our members will notice a tangible difference.
