elcome to your Spring Issue of NRBM.
It’s all happening on the political stage at the moment, since our last issue we have

a new PM and an election has been called. In our Election Special we talk to local candidates and ask them what they would do or business i they get voted in. Looking at the polls as we go to press it looks like it’s going to be a close run thing, exciting times where every vote counts.

Lennox is rebuilding ater its brush with nature at it’s most erocious. It’s amazing that so much devastation can occur in such a short time and also how lucky that no one was hurt and more damage didn’t happen. We wish them well getting back on their eet.

In line with the seasonal change, at NRBM we have been beavering away over the Winter to bring you some resh ideas or helping your business beat the recession. We have been researching areas o concern or business owners and have been recruiting some new expert columnists to shed some light.

We oten hear rom readers that it can be difcult to get inormation to help their individual businesses so, in addition to our regular columns, this Spring we are launching “Ask an Expert” on our website: www.nrbm.com.au. We want to give NRBM readers a chance to put their issues to the experts. Our columnists will answer questions and help readers to get the most rom their businesses. Check out the website and see how our experts can help your business.

In Green Business this issue we look at ways in which your business can not only save money by incorporating energy saving and sustainable procedures but also make money. Increasingly being green is being seen as making a smart investment, fnd out how your business can beneft.

We hope this issue motivates you to business growth this Spring.
Until Summer,
