GE adds support for Wizard to kick more goals
The Age – May 14, 2005
Off the paddock, there’s no culture clash. Photo: Getty Images The odd couple of Australian financial services, Wizard HomeLoans chief Mark Bouris and GE Money chief Tom Gentile, will thisweekend put similarities aside and reveal their true colours. For the first time since GE, the world’s biggest company, tookover home-grown Wizard, Mr Bouris’ beloved Collingwood will clashwith American-born Mr Gentile’s adopted Richmond, which is also theden for GE’s rapidly expanding Asian headquarters. Outsiders feared last year’s $500 million deal might be an oddmatch because GE, whose parent company’s recently announcedquarterly profit equalled the value of two large local banks, wouldroll over a young and promising financial upstart. Not a bit of it, said Mr Bouris. “It has been a reverse takeover,” he said. GE, famous for doing its homework before signing off any deal,analysed Wizard’s culture and liked what it saw, particularly MrBouris’ role in developing its brand, culture and distribution.
Sheep enterprise shows two decades of steady growth
Yorkshire Post Today – May 14, 2005
Mr Scott said: “Immediately after scanning, 1,000 ewes are housed, including all those carrying triplets and a portion with twins. The remainder afre housed one week prior to lambing. “Housing makes for easier management including feeding a uniform least cost TMR diet based on home grown barley and grass silage. “Equally important to us in handling comfortably such large volumes of sheep are the outlying handling pens. We’re able to stage five separate gathers close to where the sheep are grazing and we can, for example, take the mobile shower to them. “We use contract shearers, otherwise we carry out all the routine work ourselves. We worm the ewes twice during the grazing season, and last year dung sampling the lambs helped us determine worm thresholds and subsequently halve the number of treatments.
