Primo Smallgoods
Supplying all major retail chains in Australia, as well as the catering industry, QSRs and restaurant and café distribution channel, Primo Smallgoods is the largest Australian manufacturer of ham, bacon and smallgoods. While the company has built its reputation on its bacon, it has become even more well-known for its specialty products including prosciutto, coppa, pancetta and sopressa. In fact, Primo Smallgoods has gained notoriety for its chorizo, as the commonwealth’s largest producer of this distinct product.
Palliative Care Council of South Australia
There comes a time in each person’s life when he or she must focus not on surviving, but on thriving. All too often, we shy away from conversations on death, opting instead to be captive to some of our deepest fears and insecurities. In doing so, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to live out our lives to the very end with passion, dignity and determination.
Moran Health Care Group
Think about doing something for 60 years and you might say to yourself: “That’s just about an entire lifetime for one person.” Then think of how many fragile lives could be cared for in that time period. How many memories shared and family moments cherished. Think of a family name that has been developing and building aged care facilities just about that long and you may think of Moran who is currently at the top of its game in this industry.
Jaychem
When we talked to Auckland based Jaychem, high on our agenda was gaining an insight to a relatively modest – albeit thriving – company who is recognised for its manufacture of quality and innovative human and animal health pharmaceuticals.
INOX Fabrications
In the food and beverage industries, it is crucial that all stages of the manufacturing process maintain a high degree of cleanliness to protect products from contamination. While many consumers will never see the inside of a processing plant, the stainless steel machinery used to cool, store, dispense, and handle food must still be designed and manufactured to exacting standards for the safety of food companies and customers alike.
Genesis Fitness Clubs
David Lowe, CEO of Genesis Fitness Clubs, spoke with us this month about his Doctoral research project exploring the factors at play in client attraction, retention and loyalty within the Australian fitness club industry.
Dolina Fashion Group
Brothers Nitzan and Izhar Ronen had a vision: to provide high quality fashion to the woman of classic taste. Inspired by a genuine love of fashion and a family history in European fashion retail dating back to the 1940s, the pair founded the Dolina Fashion Group in 1980. The company began with the pair’s own Dolina label, but soon branched out to include a number of other, mostly Australian, brands. The business quickly became a fashion entity as it grew into the major department stores David Jones, Myers, and Grace Brothers.
Dial-An-Angel
DIAL-AN-ANGEL® spread its wings on the 15th of March 1967 out of one woman’s personal struggle and determination to make a difference. Mother of three Dena Blackman fell extremely ill and was told by her doctor that she needed to go to hospital. Dena replied, “How can I go to hospital when my husband works full time running his own business and I’ve got three kids under the age of six? There’s no possible way.” The doctor advised bed rest instead, which was hard for Dena, having to run a household.
Corporate Air
In 1972, Canberra local interests perceived a need for a safe, professional, competent and capable air charter company that could offer a variety of aircraft and services; from this initiative, Corporate Air took flight. The company is now celebrating its fortieth operational year as an air charter company.
Chemcorp
John Fisher launched Chemcorp International as a one man operation out of his garage twenty five years ago. The company rapidly grew into a major producer and distributor of hair, nail, and beauty products for the global retail and salon market. Several Chemcorp brands soon became market leaders. By 2005, the company had progressed from that humble garage to its own $10 million building. The specially built complex allows Chemcorp to continue its dynamic growth, and includes offices, a 3,000 pallet position warehouse, photographic studio for the company art department, and a 25 metre showroom.
