  • Working with the Impact Fund Manager of the Year

    Working with the Impact Fund Manager of the Year

    We’re very pleased to be producing the story of the Asia Pacifics Impact Fund Manager of the Year, Kilter Rural.

    Kilter are world leading agricultural regenerators, managing over 9,000 hectares of farmland, and are regarded as one of Australia’s largest and most experienced water investors. With funds under management exceeding $500 million, they were the 2019 Asia Pacific Impact Asset Manager of the Year, and are the country’s largest producer of Organic tomatoes, also farming organic wheat, barley, soy, fruit and vegetables.

    40% of Kilter farmland is allocated to revegetation, wetland protection and ecological grazing, then technology, experience and scale are added to grow high value crops, improve yields and support biodiversity. Their work is fundamental to the viability of rural communities.

    With a team of 45+ and an initial investment of $176 million in 2006 from VicSuper, Kilter have three funds open to investors; the Murray Darling Basin Balanced Water Fund, Kilter Water and Australian Farmlands Fund.

    Check out the video below from the first day of C-level interviews:

  • Don’t settle for pretty – A quick word on being amazed

    Don’t settle for pretty – A quick word on being amazed

    It’s been seven and half years running Bravo Charlie and I’m proud to be helping Australia’s best businesses capture and share their stories in honest ways, using interview journalism to achieve the vision of the CEO and in turn the board.  If you’re considering video, I urge you not to ‘settle for pretty’ – find someone that knows about business, that can ask better questions and get insightful answers from your team.  The results will amaze you 🙂

    Thanks to Marian Marsden and Love Hawkridge for their excellent work on this project.

    Did you know Melbourne has had a sister city partnership with Jiangsu for over 20 years?

    “.. Jiangsu province is China’s manufacturing powerhouse and accounts for more than 10% of China’s entire GDP. The province is only the size of Tasmania, but has a population over 75 million and its economy is the size of Indonesia’s (the world’s 16th strongest national economy). Jiangsu also boasts the most educated and skilled workforce in China. Jiangsu has been the sister state of Victoria for more than 20 years.. “

    We spent an hour doing pre-departure interviews for the (ready for it) VECCI VJBP which translates as the Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI) Victorian Jiangsu Business Placement program (VJBP).

I would definately say mum and dad, though they don’t keep massive trucks cool (every Kenworth in Australia) or ensure high speed trains in Japan do not overheat, these massive radiators do (featuring Jamie Baensch, general manager of Air Radiators – http://www.airrads.com.au/)

  • Drag and drop WordPress with Divi

    Drag and drop WordPress with Divi

    For the past fortnight Marian and I have been building with the ‘Divi’ WordPress theme from Elegant Themes – we both feel it’s perfect for what we did with it and has a lot more capacity on top of what we asked.  Finishing client training with it yesterday, the drag and drop nature and general flow of the system is extremely user friendly. Site and video content will be live early March.
