It's exciting times ahead for Charters Towers. We have hired a beautiful gentleman by the name of Charles Shewring to manage The World Incubator. He is very capable and is perfect for this next stage.
One of my company's biggest successes has been when as a team we collaboratively thought outside the box. In fact, when I first started Marketing Eye in 2004, I changed a paradigm by setting up my own segment within a saturated market, to stand out. It was this 'thinking' that provided a big risk, yet an even higher reward.
