President’s report:
Guest Speaker:
Julianna introduced Peter Fox who spoke on his 12 different careers which ranged from School teacher to Professional singer to News Reader for Ch7 in Canberra, to writing commercials for Consolidated Press to Shipping line Manager. Some of his achievements were transforming Flick from a Pest Control Company to Property Protection Company. His work with Crown Corning where manufacturing increased from 4 machines 8 hours a day to 8 machines 24 hours a day and their first export order of 1 million beer glasses to Germany. One of Peters more remarkable achievements at Crown C was the TV commercial for Vision saucepans which won a Golden Lion award in Cannes as well as other awards in Australia. With Dreamworld, he transformed it from a Kiddies Park to Major Theme Park with visitors going from 300,000 to 1 million plus. With Life Education Centres; students grew from 30,000 a year to over 1 million a year and was recognised as one of the best programs world-wide. If that was not enough, Peter’s latest project is with Vividas which is aiming to have the best HD internet video player.
