Caravan Industry Association of Australia Ltd
May 21st, 2026
BDO South Australia honoured with Eric Hayman OAM Award for Excellence.

BDO South Australia honoured with Eric Hayman OAM Award for Excellence. BDO South Australia has received the caravan and camping industry's highest honour, the prestigious Eric Hayman OAM Award for Excellence, recognising more than 20 years of leadership in research, data and analytics that has helped shape the sector' future. Led by Rudy Pieck, Angus Strachan, Sean Augustin and Talis Evans, the BDO South Australia team has become a driving force behind the industry's evolution in data capability and evidence-based decision making. Its work dates back to 2004 with the development of the Accommodation Pricing Tool. When the Federal Government ceased collecting Australian Bureau of Statistics data for the sector in 2010, the national caravan industry body turned to BDO South Australia to fill the gap. Since then, the team has played a central role in building the industry's research and analytical framework. BDO South Australia's insights have informed everything from caravan holiday park performance and RV sales to land lease communities, vehicle registrations, consumer behaviour and broader tourism and economic trends. The impact has extended well beyond industry associations, helping park operators, manufacturers, industry stakeholders and governments better understand the scale and economic value of the sector nationwide. The team's contribution has been particularly critical during periods of disruption. Through bushfires, the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing fuel and economic pressures, BDO South Australia has delivered modelling, forecasting and real-time analysis that helped decision makers respond quickly to emerging challenges facing regional communities. Much of this work has been undertaken beyond normal commercial expectations, reflecting a commitment to strengthening the resilience and sustainability of Australia's caravan and camping industry. Angus accepted the award on behalf of the BDO South Australia team at the Caravan Industry National Conference Gala Dinner last Friday (15 May).

In awarding the Eric Hayman OAM Award for Excellence, the industry recognised BDO South Australia's enduring leadership, national impact and significant contribution to advancing the sector. 21 May 2026

BDO releases new South Australia Economic Landscape Report

BDO releases new South Australia Economic Landscape Report. Discover BDO's new insights on Adelaide and broader South Australia, revealing how the state's economy is evolving. BDO has recently made available its latest Economic Landscape Reportfor South Australia covering 2024/25. The report compiles detailed economic data across the state, by region and industry, enabling a comprehensive view of how different parts of South Australia are performing. The report is based on reliable data sources, including state accounts, labour force figures, and demographic data. It covers 86 industries across all local government areas, providing detailed insights rather than just broad averages. Key findings show that South Australia's economy is mainly driven by a strong services sector, which continues to support the state's overall strength. At the same time, rural and regional areas face challenges, with drought and other pressures causing noticeable decline in some non-metropolitan regions. Whether it is for businesses, policymakers, local governments, and community leaders, this report is a valuable tool to understand economic strengths, identify regional weaknesses, and make future plans based on solid evidence.

BDO Accelerates Global Integration and Reaffirms Independence

BDO accelerates global integration and reaffirms independence. As part of its international business growth strategy, BDO is prioritizing greater global integration by accelerating consolidation among member firms and strengthening go-to-market collaboration across its network. BDO has announced a strategic reset and decision to remain independent of external equity investment to ensure a strong and sustainable future for the global organization, its clients, and its people. As part of its international business growth strategy, BDO is prioritizing greater global integration by accelerating consolidation among member firms and strengthening go-to-market collaboration across its network, leveraging regional strengths. This will enable BDO to serve an increasingly international and complex client base. "Choosing independence is a conscious decision made from a position of strength," said Pat Kramer, BDO's Global CEO. "This approach ensures that we remain in control of our destiny while continuing to build a future-proof organization. This is just one part of the journey. Consolidation among member firms and aligning operations across borders will strengthen our global reach, enhance quality, and deliver greater value for our clients and our people worldwide." This strategy is underpinned by several significant leadership appointments, with Trond-Morten Lindberg announced as incoming Global CEO, succeeding Pat Kramer, whose term will conclude in November 2026. Currently serving as Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, Lindberg has collaborated with Kramer to shape BDO's strategy and drive alignment, consistency, and execution across its global operations. Commenting on his appointment, that will commence in November 2026, Trond-Morten Lindberg said: "I am immensely proud to take on this role at an important juncture for BDO and our industry. I look forward to continuing to work with Pat and all our leaders globally, as we focus on the next phase of our growth and securing a strong and sustainable future for our organisation." In the year ahead, Kramer will continue to work closely with Lindberg and the global leadership team to strengthen BDO's position as the leading mid-market service provider globally, with a reach that extends across 160+ countries and territories and over 92,000 people working from 882 offices worldwide. Lindberg's appointment is part of a wider leadership evolution across BDO's global footprint: * Tony Schiffmann, who will serve as Chief Executive Partner of BDO Australia until 1 December 2025, has been announced as Global Chair (effective 1 November 2025). He will succeed Wayne Berson, the current Global Chair, who will step down from the role on 31 October 2025 in line with his planned retirement. David Garvey has been appointed the next Chief Executive Partner of BDO Australia. * Matthew Becker has been ratified as the incoming CEO of BDO USA, succeeding Wayne Berson who is retiring (effective 1 July 2026). * The BDO Global Board also welcomes Dr. Jens Freiberg from BDO Germany, succeeding Dr. Holger Otte, who is retiring after more than 40 years with the firm. These appointments mark a new era for BDO, as it continues to invest in long-term growth and build a future-fit organisation.
