Editor's Note, Winter 2007

Welcome to a brand new business magazine for the region. In our Winter issue we have a staggering amount of business information and sources to help business succeed. In Business Matters we tackle issues in Employment & Training, Business Planning, Insurance, Event Planning and Sales & Marketing to name a few.

Our major feature in this issue is on Ballina, this amazing town is a big success story for the region. It has a vibrant business community which is working together towards sustainable growth. Succeeding where many fail, it has developed a balance of industrial, retail, tourism and professional businesses, making it a sought after cosmopolitan centre.

Inside, our intrepid publisher, Ashley Burke-Smith puts on his driving gloves and takes the new Honda CRV Sport out for a spin around the Northern Rivers.

We also have an interview with marketing guru Linda Hailey, who was in Ballina to present to the Home Base Business Network on ‘Branding – Making your Mark’. Linda is a fascinating lady and is a keynote speaker on Marketing and Small Business.

Speaking of home businesses, we also research how your home business can afford to move out of home in ‘Business Seeks Space’.

We hope this issue inspires you to business success this Winter.

Until Spring,

Moyra Burke-Smith
