CRA Construction CEO Kim Allen has been featured in the Winter 2026 edition of Inside Small Business, sharing her perspective on the rising fuel costs placing pressure on construction businesses across Australia.
Featured in The Quarterly Vent section, the article looks at a pressure point many operators are currently facing. Drawing on her experience leading a Brisbane-based commercial plastering and carpentry contractor, Kim brings a practical, on-the-ground view of how these rising costs are being felt across projects, suppliers and the wider industry.
For our team, it’s a proud moment to see Kim’s insight included in this national conversation and to have CRA represented in a publication dedicated to Australian small business owners.
