Highlights

You’re constantly realising that the world’s changing dramatically, economically, socially, politically, environmentally.

They’re not scared of failure, so they don’t mind you making mistakes, they just expect you to learn from them.

They set the bar immensely high, so everybody when they come in, they virtually put you an A, and if you pass selection you’re an A therefore don’t drop below an A.

I was involved in politics at a really early age, they have a real strong opinion about the world but every one of my brothers is different.

We’re very unique because we can tailor things for our customers. Our customer service is absolutely world-class.

We have no external debt, you know our borrowing is nil, it just enables us to be very, very entrepreneurial in what we’re doing.

You have to realise that everything is a cross reference, we all can support one another, we all have good ideas.

Even though I may not be technically the best, I still understand what a good idea is.

Don’t work on all your weaknesses, you’d be mediocre.
