"It was great to be in a room with other business owners experiencing the same or similar pains that I am. A main driver was to make sure that I'm on the right track or if I'm not, how to correct myself and my business.  It was great to be able to do this here in the Waikato, I probably wouldn't have committed so quickly if I needed to drive an hour + / stay somewhere overnight"    Mat Pedley, Mr. Pickles Bar & Eatery.
