Editor's Note, Spring 2007

Welcome to your Spring issue of NRBM. Inside you’ll find an incredible amount of business information and sources to help your business succeed. In Business Matters we tackle issues in Employment and Training, Business Planning, Insurance, Event Planning and Sales & Marketing to name a few.

Our major feature in this issue is on The Tweed, this area has grown into a business hub for both South and North of the border. Recognised as one of the country’s fastest growing regions The Tweed has a dynamic economy. It’s geographical location and key business drivers, including a skilled and educated workforce, provide an excellent environment for business.

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

We also have an interview with business efficiency guru Clayton Oates. A regular presenter on Channel 7’s My Business Show, Clayton tours Australia wide teaching business owners how they can buy time. Find out his key tips and how they can help your business.

In Business Matters we look at how affordable it can be for business to take on an apprentice with Commonwealth Government funding at an all time high. Could it make sense for your business?

We hope this issue motivates you to business growth this Spring.
