the new facility will serve as a gathering place for the entire community. For Neil, this project is deeply personal. “It’s about giving young people a place to belong and grow,” he explains. “Sports have always been a way to build confidence, resilience, and community spirit. We want this center to reflect that.” Safari Group’s role in bringing the project to life underscores the company’s broader philosophy: success is not just measured in profits but also in the positive impact left behind. CHALLENGES AND ADAPTABILITY Like all businesses, Safari Group has faced its share of obstacles. Economic downturns, weather delays, and global disruptions such as COVID-19 have all tested the company’s resilience. But Neil believes Safari’s adaptability is one of its greatest strengths. Whether adjusting timelines, finding creative financing solutions, or working closely with councils and partners, the company has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to navigate uncertainty without losing sight of its goals. Maintaining strong relationships during these times has been critical to long-term success. 57 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 09 SAFARI GROUP
