WHY ALNA

“We have always found it to be good value for money being a Australian Lottery and Newsagents Association member. They have been helpful with advice on a number of issues particularly dealings with magazine companies and Golden Casket.”

- Bruce Trinity, Beach News Cairns, Queensland

“If you're a newsagent, membership to Australian Lottery and Newsagents Association is an absolute must! Bicheno News and Lotto has been an ALNA member for the past 13 years, and I would say membership is an essential part of any newsagent business.”

- Michael Bicheno, News and Lotto Bicheno, Tasmania

“I engaged Michael Cuda to negotiate new lease terms with my landlord. They were particularly difficult to deal with, however Michael was focussed, tenacious and never gave up - he kept me up to date with developments all through the process and worked tirelessly to achieve the best result for me. I was very pleased with the end result, in fact I am ecstatic! Michael negotiated a new lease with a 30% reduction in rent, which equated to an over $40,000pa increase to my bottom line. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a professional lease negotiator.”

- FZ. Sydney Newsagent
