Back In Motion takes up our focus on Health and Hospitals for June. Since their establishment in 1999, they have grown into one of Australia and New Zealand’s most comprehensive networks of physiotherapy practices. With their proprietary clinical approach, Results4Life, Back In Motion guide clients on a journey towards optimal health, rather than simply providing a ‘quick fix’ to a current symptomatic problem.
Food and Beverage View businesses for this issue include the Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC), V&V Walsh, and Cannings. AMIC is Australia’s peak industry body representing meat retailers, processors, and smallgoods manufacturers across the country. The organisation exists to help their members achieve and maintain profitability, efficiency, and sustainability in the face of dynamic, everchanging markets. V&V Walsh have used hard work, experience, and determination since their founding in 1957 to evolve into today’s leading lamb and beef producer for all of Western Australia. Cannings were set up in 2010 to provide the discerning Melbournian with free range, high welfare meats from proudly Australian suppliers. Their ethos is ‘It’s Free Range or Nothing!’.
That’s it from us for June. Be well, stay safe, and as always… Enjoy the Read!
