Sep-Oct 2016 Issue | Business View Oceania

7 Editor’s Note Dear Readers, In an effort to continue our commit- ment to highlighting some of the best business of Australia and New Zea- land, our September-October issue includes an array of different sectors. From rest homes to health centres, these businesses have consistently demonstrated excellent performance, fantastic customer satisfaction, and innovations in management. The rest home and assisted living sector of New Zealand houses nu- merous incredible organisations. In this issue, we are highlighting Al- thorp Village, Aparangi Village, Fitz- roy of Merivale, Glenwood Homes, Golden Healthcare Group, Highfield Country Estate, Lochlea Lifestyle Re- sort, Maryville Courts, Moana House, Tamahere Eventide, Windsorcare, and Wensley House. These organisa- tions are in turn represented by two great associations, the New Zealand Retirement Village Association and the New Zealand Aged Care Associ- ation, both of which have been high- lighted in this issue. In addition to all that, we are also showcasing Ocean- side Village, a family-owned hotel in beautiful Western Australia. In the manufacturing sector, we are presenting the best managed man- ufacturers of 2016 in the agricultur- al industrial sector. Magnus Austral- ia, Gessner Industries, and our cover story of Ausplow Farming Systems will hopefully teach aspiring professionals a thing or two about the inner work- ings of the top three. Furthermore, the Blackall-Tamboo Regional Council and the Shire of Williams spoke with us about critical infrastructure and economic developments that they oversee in their respective regions. Keeping in line with the diversified theme of our latest issue, we are also featuring the Remuera Surgical Cen- tre and the Centre for Digestive Dis- eases as two of the best managed healthcare organisations of 2016. Both of them have been doing some great and innovative work in their re- spective fields which should be rec- ognized more often. As always, we hope that this issue will aspire both new and experienced business professionals as well as anyone interested in learning more about how these organisations oper- ate from an insider’s perspective! Best Wishes from James Schafer & the team
