2. Collectively, members
overcome any business challenges.
‘The value is in the lessons you learn and having the ability
to apply them to get to where you want to be. It’s also in the
other people in the group; the people I’ve met along the way.
If you want to take your business to the next level, do yourself
a favour and join a group like TEC – it will take you there.’
Vicki Warne, Managing Director, AIB Insurance
Maroochydore, Queensland
TEC member since 2003
‘As a CEO of a publicly listed company, it is critical that
decisions are challenged and I have a high level of
accountability for results – if this type of focus is important to
you – TEC provides a great environment for the mechanisms
and dynamic needed.’
Ray Smith-Roberts, CEO, AMA Group
Margate, Queensland
TEC member since 2009
‘Before I started with TEC I was very insular in my outlook in
relation to business. By entering into the TEC program I got
to learn about the operation of 14 other businesses, and
therefore got a broader view of what was actually happening
in the greater business climate. For our business to be still
growing through the GFC, and still showing strong growth
and strong top and bottom line performance – that’s an
indicator that the business is doing well.’
Paul Kahlert, General Manager, All Purpose Transport
