Thinking Forward TV Series Two
A word from Sarah
Campbell Tyson has been at the forefront of helping provincial businesses to grow since 1922.
Over the past 90+ years the firm has seen a considerable change in the economic landscape, mostly due to technology, mobile communications and tax legislation. We have also observed several common themes and challenges across the breadth of businesses we work with. These include differentiation, sustainability, diversification and succession to name just a few. We know that people learn from experience – our own and that of others.
So following on from the success of ‘Thinking Forward’ Season 1, we have travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand to find 11 inspirational businesses and bring you their stories and an insight into the way they think and operate.
From farmers to growers and from Gore to Auckland – these 11 businesses are doing things differently and getting fantastic results that will encourage and inform entrepreneurs all over New Zealand. ‘Thinking Forward’ is more than words, it’s a mindset and an experience that Campbell Tyson is proud to deliver.
