Guest speakers David Trim and Roger Smith were introduced by Jane Clouston.David has 25 years of experience in management positions, both employed and self-employed, and a wealth of practical experience as a director and shareholder in six local businesses.
Roger comes from a 25-year career in marketing and advertising and in 2008 he established his own consultancy advising and mentoring owners of small to medium-sized businesses.
David and Roger teamed up to develop a mentoring business that creates groups of like-minded people who meet fortnightly to share their ideas and concerns with the aim of helping each other succeed in their businesses. This is a subsidised service supported by the HBDC and CHBDC and meets on Thursdays in Waipukurau.
