COV ER S TORY

Geoff and Sue Tilden – Raine & Horne Gosford Helping people move for more than 30 years By Phaedra Pym DIRECTORS OF RAINE & Horne Gosford, Geoff and Sue Tilden are examples of great leaders in the highly competitive and often turbulent world of real estate. Both have been in the game for more than thirtythree years and are so passionate about what they do that they recently walked away from a “very lucrative offer”, putting any thoughts of retirement well and truly on hold. In fact, not only did they decide to remain at the helm of the business they have grown from the ground up since 1990, but they have just opened a new office in East Gosford, growing their team to thirtyfive in the process. This is the story of the Tilden family’s remarkable business journey and how their customer, staff and community-centred approach to everything they do has seen them become the largest real estate agency on the Central Coast and one of the most successful in the national Raine & Horne network.

Born and raised on the Central Coast, Geoff was first inspired to work in real estate by his wife, Sue. Originally a country girl who trained show horses, she encouraged Geoff to accept a sales job at the international commercial and industrial agency she worked for in North Sydney.

Specialising in sales and leasing across Sydney for six years, Geoff and Sue moved back to the Coast in February 1990 to take on management roles at the long-established Gosford Real Estate. Not long after starting, the owner asked Geoff and Sue

if they would be interested in buying the company, which at the time was struggling with cash flow. “We were offered the business on a Monday and by the Friday the business was ours.” said Sue. Buying a real estate agency with cash flow issues in 1990, at the height of the so-called ‘recession Australia had to have’ created significant challenges for the couple who had literally put everything on the line. As sales-focused agents, Geoff and Sue had no interest in property management

Buying a real estate agency with cash flow issues in 1990, at the height of the so-called ‘recession Australia had to have’ created significant challenges for the couple who had literally put everything on the line. but with sales prospects extremely low, they both knew they would have to expand their horizons to stay afloat. “While property management doesn’t have the lucrative profit margins that sales does, it delivers consistent bread and butter cash flow,” said Sue, who set her mind to building a property management business from a rent roll of zero and with no prior experience.

Learning on the go, zero grew to five and, following a structured, systemised and

innovative approach over the following years, Sue and her now substantial property management team are on track to achieve a rent roll of 2,000 by December. “It (property management) laid a strong foundation for our business,” said Geoff, adding that downturns in the market are no longer a concern as a result. Sue had intended to establish the property management department and then step back into sales. However in the process, she discovered a passion and talent for property management she never knew she had. The added benefit was that Geoff and Sue could both run their own arms of the business, much easier for a husband and wife leadership team. “I don’t think there’s another real estate office on the Coast that has a property management department run by the owner of the business,” said Geoff.

Indeed this has become a strong point of difference for the team.

Growing steadily over the next twenty years as part of the First National network, Geoff and Sue invested heavily in technology to help manage their growth and keep it sustainable. Recognising the quality and strength of their business, Raine & Horne approached the Tildens in 2011 with an offer to join them. “Raine & Horne is a family owned business, so culturally we felt they were a really good fit for us,” said Geoff adding that they liaise directly with Angus Raine, a third generation franchisor. “This also aligns well with us because people know that when they engage our services

they deal with the people who own the business, people who are locals, who have been here for a long time and who have a very strong presence within the community.” Sue agreed, “Like Angus (Raine) we drive the bus. We’re not sitting in a big office telling our staff what to do. We are part of the team.” Geoff and Sue also appreciate the fact that Raine & Horne is very forward thinking when it comes to technology. As part of their brand, they can tap into those resources but also have the freedom to run their business the way they want to.

From the moment the Tildens rebranded to Raine & Horne, inbound calls increased by 20%. Consistently growing their sales and property management client base over the ensuing years culminated in a merge with Century 21 Gosford in 2013 and the opening of a new office at East Gosford after acquiring Starr Partners last month.

The acquisition also gave Geoff and Sue the ideal opportunity to offer their daughter, Katie and son-in-law, Kristian Bingham greater leadership opportunities in the family business. Katie is a former People and Culture Consultant with Westpac and Kristian is a marketing and real estate sales specialist. Katie was also recently named Raine & Horne 2018 National Rookie of the Year for Property Management, a testament to her idea of creating Business Development and Relationship Management roles in property management as well as treating tenants as clients.

Left to right: Geoff and Sue Tilden and Katie and Kristian Bingham Other notable points of difference in the Tildens’ real estate business include: • An exceptional workplace culture – they attract top talent and have a very low staff turnover, which is unusual in the industry.

• All salespeople work together rather than in competition with each other to sell properties. The size of their team also means they can afford to have more staff working on each property. Both factors result in lower than average days on market.

• World-class technology, including cloudbased property management systems, innovative digital property marketing and real time reports for vendors.

• A focus on continuous improvement for all staff.

• A strong commitment to community service, such as sponsorship of and hands on support by all staff for the Central Coast’s Free Trade Day initiative.

• Retaining customers long-term through consistent ongoing communication.

Geoff is still involved in commercial industrial sales, particularly specialised

projects (he was responsible for selling the Bunnings site at West Gosford to property developer, Tony Denny for the development of his car museum). He also continues to list and sell residential real estate and has achieved some impressive sales records in recent years. In terms of the local market, Geoff said we are going through a period of adjustment on the back of falling Sydney prices and tightened lending policies.

“We’re basically a suburb of Sydney now so when Sydney experiences a downturn, we’ll feel it three months later,” said Geoff.

But despite a softening market, Sue said, “Sydney buyers seeking a lifestyle move to the Central Coast, which is the majority of our buyers today, will continue to drive long-term demand for our real estate.” For the foreseeable future, Geoff and Sue are thrilled to continue doing what they love.

For the foreseeable future, Geoff and Sue are thrilled to continue doing what they love. Now with a second agency and the next generation on the leadership team, the Tilden family’s ongoing service to the Central Coast community is assured.

New planning controls for Gosford City THE OCTOBER MEETING of the Gosford/ Erina Chamber of Commerce was the setting for the Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts to announce that a suite of new planning controls would ensure the future of the City of Gosford.

Over 220 business leaders turned up to hear what was in fact a historical occasion as never before had such a far reaching announcement been made in respect to the future of Gosford.

Following more than a year of consultations the Minister said that the NSW Government had listened to the Central Coast community’s comments and ideas and incorporated them in a final series of measures that will pave the way for the Gosford of the future.

“People had different views on how it should be achieved but the message was loud and clear on one thing: revitalisation of Gosford needs to happen and it needs to happen now,” Mr Roberts said.

“Today we are putting in place the framework to drive further investment, attract new residents, business, tourists, cultural activity and jobs to Gosford,” he said.

“We have addressed many of the issues raised by community stakeholders and we want these same stakeholders to be involved in the delivery of the revitalisation plans.”

Design-led, place-based revitalisation process.

Acting NSW Government Architect Olivia Hyde said the final Gosford City Centre Urban Design Framework (UDF) maps out a design-led, place-based revitalisation process that focuses on public domain renewal.

“The place-based approach recommends focus on the delivery of attractive public places and the activation of these spaces as well connectivity between the three core areas of Gosford City Centre,” she said.

“City North focuses on connecting the greatly expanded Gosford Hospital to the city across the rail corridor, to spread the benefits of the $400m investment into the development of the health and education precinct.

“City South makes stronger links between the city and the waterfront parklands to draw together locals, land, culture, history and recreation in a beautiful parkland destination and Civic Heart – Kibble Park and surrounds, links the City North to the City South.”

Gosford City SEPP, DCP and SIC released The Government also released the final Gosford City Centre State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), Development Control Plan (DCP) and Special Infrastructure Contribution (SIC).

These controls will implement the Government Architect’s Urban Design

Minister for Planning and Housing Anthony Roberts addressing the media prior to the Chamber of Commerce meeting.

With him are Lee Shearer Central Coast Coordinator General, Lucy Wicks Federal Member for Robertson and Scot MacDonald Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter and Central Coast Framework and ensure design-led, streamlined, flexible and efficient development for Gosford City Centre.

In crafting the final controls, particular attention has been paid to the desire to protect sunlight access to public open spaces, including Leagues Club Field and Kibble Park, and views to Brisbane Water and the bushland of Rumbalara Reserve and Presidents Hill.

The SEPP and DCP will provide greater protection against overshadowing because they introduce measureable performance standards that replace the purely subjective provisions in the current controls, which are open to interpretation.

The SIC will collect contributions for infrastructure that supports growth as the revitalisation program continues to roll out, reducing the overall contributions from 4 per cent to 3 per cent of the cost of development, with 1 per cent to go to a new local contributions plan. $52 million for infrastructure confirmed Mr Roberts said, “the SIC incentivises development in Gosford and reflects the Government’s $52 million commitment to upgrade vital water and sewer infrastructure and public domain in the city centre.

The SEPP will remain a stand-alone state policy until Central Coast Council completes its comprehensive Local Environmental Plan (LEP).

CCRDC to merge with Hunter Development Corporation The Government also unveiled the Hunter and Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC), a merged entity under the leadership of CEO Michael Cassel who has been instrumental in leading change and transforming Newcastle into a vibrant, dynamic and thriving hub of the Hunter Region.

“As Gosford City Centre’s revitalisation transitions from planning to implementation, Mr Cassel today takes the baton from Coordinator General for the Central Coast Lee Shearer who has done a brilliant job bringing all stakeholders around the table to pave the way for the future Gosford,” Mr Roberts said.

“When it comes to urban renewal and seizing opportunities to drive economic growth in cities, there is no one better than Mr Cassel.”

Ms Shearer will now focus on the continued delivery of the many other priority projects of the Central Coast Regional Plan 2036 (Regional Plan) - the Government’s blueprint to deliver environmentally sustainable jobs, housing and connected communities on the Central Coast.

The SEPP, SIC and DCP will commence operation on Friday 19th October 2018 when they are published on the NSW legislation website.

Park and Leagues Club Park to the tune of $10 million.

As we move towards a 2019 State Election it is time for everyone on the Central Coast to reflect on what this government has done for the Central Coast since being elected in 2011.

And while thinking about this reflect on the fact that all but the Seat of Terrigal is a Labor Seat.

In Gosford City, held by Labor, this government has poured close to a billion dollars with a brand new hospital, car park and a Medical Research Institute.

Although controversial at the time the new state-of-the-art Gosford Primary School has replaced the ancient one where the Tax Office and the new Financial Services Building now stand.

And then we need to look at the billions that have been spent across the Coast on roads and other infrastructure like schools, fire stations etc.

Under this Government the Coast in the last seven years has been seen unprecedented investment by this Liberal Government.

Lasercraft’s vision lives on as it celebrates 30 years LASERCRAFT AUSTRALIA, THE Central Coast’s oldest and most successful business providing supported employment for people living with physical and intellectual disabilities, celebrated 30 years in business last month.

Set up to be a sustainable business while providing meaningful work for disabled people Lasercraft from its inception set out to build a business based on a relentless commitment to quality, service and design innovation in manufacturing trophies and awards and become Australia’s leading trophy specialist.

While there have been many supporters over the last 30 years the guiding lights through most of that time were the founders Peter Robson who only retired as Chairman a few years ago, and John Leddy who was General Manager and retired a few years before that.

It was their idea to acquire laser precision engraving machines that were a brand new technology and train a team of disabled employees to manufacture awards and business products of the highest quality and design.

The idea was a huge success and over the years Lasercraft counted blue chip companies such as Qantas, 3M, CommBank, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and many others as long term customers.

Unfortunately, like many new technologies the machinery got cheaper and easier to acquire and eventually competition drove prices down to a point where customers accepted a lower quality standard and lower prices.

Lasercraft Chairman Peter Bayley addressing guests To their credit Lasercraft have all along maintained their quality standards and remain in the market place however they have introduced new services to support their workers.

The services include; mail fulfilment and distribution, clean room packaging, collation of products and warehouse services.

Lasercraft have supported over a hundred people since starting, many of whom have been with the company from fifteen to twenty years.

Speaking to staff and friends at a function to celebrate their 30 years Chairman Peter Bayley spoke enthusiastically of Lasercraft in fulfilling the vision of the founders. As he shared the goals of Lasercraft to grow the business to support more disabled

Lasercraft products employees, he described the genuine difference Lasercraft makes to individual lives.

He urged everyone to visit Lasercraft to see the smiles on the faces of their supported employees as they engaged with their peers and relished the opportunity to be productive members of the community.

Software developer expands CLOCKON, THE UMINA based software developer of rostering, attendance and payroll systems is expanding and has leased space in the Riverside Office Tower at West Gosford.

ClockOn is another Central Coast IT success story. The concept of developing an affordable time and attendance, rostering, HR and Payroll system for small business came from Dr Graham Mylne and with a Federal Start-Up Grant almost twenty years ago founded ClockOn operating it from his home in Umina.

With continued research and development over the years ClockOn software has evolved into a sophisticated product range providing employment software customised to individual employees and their unique awards and agreements.

ClockOn now employs fourteen staff, 390 clients and 23,000 users across Australia including pharmaceutical companies dentists and medical centres, hotels and clubs and supermarkets.

Last year the company reached a point where they saw that to grow further they needed to employ a CEO and appointed LNV Samy a senior executive with thirty years’ experience in the IT industry.

Their next step was to move into an office space that would allow the company to almost triple its workforce as part of a new growth strategy that includes a global outlook.

Their growth plans required an investment of $400,000 and this has been facilitated with a Regional Growth Loan from the Jobs for NSW that provides financial support to start-ups and emerging and fast-growth small to medium enterprises to build momentum and grow jobs.

With State Government support ClockOn plans grow from 9 fulltime equivalent posi-

At the opening of the Riverside office in early September attended by Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks MP and the Hon Taylor Martin MLC, Mr Martin said, “ClockOn is a fantastic example of how the NSW Government is supporting enterprising businesses on the Central Coast.” “Jobs for NSW is not about giving out handouts but rather making smart investments that allow good business ideas and good businesses to grow.”

Full house for Coast Opera Australia’s Debut Concert COAST OPERA AUSTRALIA, the Coast’s first professional Opera Company, held their Debut Concert in early September to a full house in the Parkview Room Concert Hall at the Central Coast Leagues Club.

Billed as An Exquisite Night of Musical Brilliance over 300 people (full house) experienced a combination of musical artistry not seen on the Central Coast before with a professional full orchestra of over forty musicians, four acclaimed international principal operatic artists and twelve of Australia’s finest Principal Ensemble members including some of our local Emerging Artists all supported by one of Opera Australia’s most exciting new operatic conductors, Luke Spicer.

Principal operatic artists included Jose Carbo, Sally-Ann Russell, Ayako Ohtake and Caleb Son singing a compilation of traditional operas ending with a full company edition of Puccini’s famous Nessun Dorma to a standing ovation!

Commenting on the performance Coast Opera Australia’s Artistic Director/ CEO and Professional International Operatic Singer in her own right, Angela Brewer said, “Coast Opera Australia is delighted to lead the way as the Coast’s first Not for Profit Professional Opera/Arts company. For years many of our local professional artists including Singers, Instrumentalist, Set Designers, Costume Designers, Directors and many others had to leave the Coast for work and those professionals working in Sydney or overseas had no reason to come to the coast for work. I had to do this

Now I can proudly say we can offer work at the top level here by our gorgeous Gosford waterfront. I look forward to bringing our Arts community together and supporting the development of the new Regional Performing Arts Venue and using this space in the very near future.”

Commenting on the evening Central Coast Leagues Club CEO Peter Blacker said, “Our Club was very excited to host Coast Opera Australia’s inaugural production.

While our Park View Room is a little dated, you cannot take away its great acoustics.

It complimented the wonderful voices of the COA company.

“The production highlighted the appetite for professional Opera and perhaps other shows on the Coast with over 200 attending.

We cannot wait for their next production.”

“I would also like to congratulate Angela Brewer on the wonderful work that she has undertaken to pull this together and Central Coast Leagues Club is proud to be a supporter in the success of Coast Opera Australia,” he said.

Tonkin Drysdale Partners celebrate 60 years on the Coast SIXTY YEARS AGO, on 13 July 1958, Philip Tonkin founded a legal practice in the sleepy seaside town of Woy Woy on the New South Wales Central Coast.

Then called P.D Tonkin & Co., the world was a different place – television had been in Australia for only two years, the world watched as the USA and Russia raced to launch the first man into space, and P.D Tonkin & Co. had just one secretary, with Phil being the sole legal counsel.

Tonkin Drysdale Partners has now grown to a team of more than twenty legal experts and is spearheaded by its four partners – Darrell Pannowitz OAM, Paul Tonkin, Paul Quinn and Lee Pawlak.

Despite the enormous social, economic, cultural and technological changes over the past six decades, Tonkin Drysdale Partners has remained a constant supporter of the Peninsula community, keeping up with changing needs and demands whilst maintaining the core values in which it was founded.

Managing Partner, Darrell Pannowitz OAM expressed the firm’s strong beliefs in client loyalty and community engagement, thanking those they have served over the past sixty years.

“On behalf of the entire team at Tonkin Drysdale Partners, we’d like to give thanks to our loyal clients over the past sixty years,” said Mr Pannowitz.

“We are very passionate about looking after our community and are proud to have built life-long relationships that transcend generations,” continued Mr Pannowitz.

“Having worked in the business myself for 30 years, I have seen firsthand the benefit of supporting locals and families, representing people who now have children and grandchildren whom we now support,” he added.

Tonkin Drysdale Partners partners; Darrell Pannowitz, Lee Pawlak, Paul Tonkin and Paul Quinn The history of Tonkin Drysdale Partners continues to evolve as the team take on new and younger associates who are passionate about empowerment of good legal representation.

“We are pleased to continue the Tonkin family line of valued solicitors with Philip’s son Paul Tonkin a partner and grandson Dominic Tonkin now a solicitor. We are also proud to foster young associates, legal secretaries and solicitors whom are passionate about working in the industry and supporting Central Coast locals,” added Mr Pannowitz.

Since its inception, Tonkin Drysdale Partners has fostered a strong sense of community spirit, giving back to a wide range of community causes and organisations including the Central Coast Mariners,

Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club, Peninsula Villages, Everglades Country Club, as well as a range of sporting groups and not-for-profit organisations.

“We take great pride in giving back to our community and it has been an honour to be involved with a number of great organisations. In the last 12 months alone, we have supported more than 30 organisations and initiatives,” said Mr Pannowitz.

“We look forward to serving the community into the future with many more years to come,” concluded Mr Pannowitz.

Tonkin Drysdale Partners provides legal services and advice across a broad range of fields including property conveyancing, litigation, estate planning, intellectual property as well as family, commercial, employment and criminal law.

Erina company launches new security tag for retailers JACLOC, AN ERINA based company that develops security solutions for retailers has launched a new security tag solution that is taking Australia by storm with groundbreaking technology that is helping retailers improve profits by cutting shrinkage (theft) by up to 72%.

Concept Tag (pictured) has a revolutionary new locking mechanism that can’t be opened with magnets or hooks, and can withstand 50kg of force pressure, five times more than standard old-style tags.

A recent trial by Glue fashion stores surpassed all expectations and represents one of Australia's largest and fastest store lossreduction successes in the last decade.

Robert Bodill, Jacloc Founder and Managing Director said that shoplifters today use a hook or magnet device, legally available online from hundreds of sellers. These tiny items can be concealed in hand, and are used to open old-style tags in seconds, without a sound or disturbance to notify staff that it’s happening. These bootleg detachers are behind the increasing trend of in-store theft, costing retailers billions in stock loss each year.

Mr Bodill co-founded his first retail security business in Melbourne in 2001 focusing on the Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) market and within twenty-four months became the fastest growing security tag provider in Australia.

The Jacloc Table at the Retail Knowledge Awards in Sydney in August. Seated are Concept Tag Directors Martin Ross, Robert Bodill (Founder and Managing Director), Mark Stafford and Darren Jackson from BigW.

Having returned to Australia in late 2016, and now living on the Central Coast he recognised a gap in the local market and launched Jacloc with a range of above-

counter display security products to protect mobile phones and cameras.

Never sitting idle, in 2017 Mr. Bodill started a new division, Concept Tag dedicated to protecting retail apparel items.

In August 2018, Mr Bodill's Central Coast business was nominated for the prestigious 'Most Innovative In-Store Solution' at the Australian Fraud Awards presented by the Retail Risk Conference, the most attended loss prevention conference series in the world.

What the NSW Government Architect said REVITALISATION OF GOSFORD City Centre as the capital of a healthy, prosperous and connected Central Coast, is a key Ministerial priority of the Central Coast Regional Plan 2036.

The measures aim to facilitate investment in the city to attract new residents, business, tourists and cultural activity to allow Gosford to fulfil its enormous potential as the vibrant, thriving and liveable capital of the Central Coast.

The Government Architect’s final Gosford City Centre Urban Design Framework (UDF) maps out a design–led, place-based revitalisation process that focuses on public domain renewal.

The UDF has been a collaborative process that has involved consultation with the community and stakeholders.

It builds on previous design work for the Gosford City Centre, including the Our City, Our Destiny – Gosford City Centre Masterplan which was prepared by the then Gosford City Council (now part of Central Coast Council).

The place–based approach promotes design excellence in the development and connectivity of three core areas of Gosford City Centre: • City North focuses on connecting the greatly expanded Gosford Hospital to the city across the rail corridor, to spread the benefits of the $400m investment into the development of the health and education precinct.

• City South focuses on linking the city to the waterfront parklands to draw together locals, land, culture, history and recreation in a beautiful parkland destination.

• Civic Heart – Kibble Park and its surrounds focuses on Gosford’s beating heart that links the City North to the City South.

The SEPP will establish the statutory controls that recognises the state–significant importance of Gosford as a regional capital.

The DCP provides the detailed objectives and controls to support the SEPP. The final SIC will collect contributions for infrastructure that supports growth as the revitalisation program continues to roll out, reducing the overall contributions from 4 per cent to 3 per cent of the cost of development (with the SIC collecting 2 per cent and the local contributions framework collecting 1 per cent).

The current situation There have been several ad hoc responses to support revitalisation in the city centre including sporadic development of new buildings, largely in the residential market concentrated around the fringe of the city centre itself.

There remains a run-down appearance in the buildings and vacant shops, with poor CENTRAL COAST BUSINESS REVIEW OCTOBER 2018

The Urban Design and Implementation Framework (UDIF) for Gosford City The Government Architect says great places and cities don’t happen by chance. They are designed and continue to be designed to manage their transformation over time.

The need for a UDIF has arisen from the growing consensus that a vision needs a framework for implementation. The implementation of strategies and recommendations will enable the urban design outcomes to be delivered.

The Urban Design and Implementation Framework (UDIF) will help to shape the continued development and renewal of the Gosford City Centre and support implementation of the Central Coast Regional Plan 2036 vision for Gosford.

The UDIF will provide a series of recommendations regarding the design of places and spaces to support delivery of the vision for Gosford City Centre. It will also provide recommendations relating to governance, infrastructure and other matters that will be critical to the ongoing urban renewal and quality outcomes for Gosford.

By providing an integrated design approach, we can collaboratively create the framework for the delivery of great places, spaces and buildings that attract and retain residents, jobs, tourists, and further investment.

The UDIF is a design-led methodology, balancing multiple and sometimes competing agendas. It is for all agencies, levels of government, industry and the community to plug in to for action. It builds on the vision of the regional plan, which has consensus. We need to synthesise and ensure action starts now to deliver tangible outcomes for the community.

It provides an implementation plan to guide rejuvenation, growth and foster good design and a high quality public realm.

The three places which the UDIF will plan in the most detail are: • City Centre heart: Kibble park and The Civic Heart.

• City Centre north: the health and education precinct • City Centre south: the waterfront The Government Architect has issued a Place Report for each.

City Centre Middle: Kibble Park The Civic Heart Minister Roberts announced the first stage of the Gosford Revitalisation Plan in late April along with the Government Architect’s Place Report 1 – The Civic Heart.

The Report says that capitalising on government and private sector investment in Gosford will strengthen its role as the regional capital and benefit current and future residents of the entire Central Coast.

The potential of Gosford The city of Gosford has enormous potential.

The structure of the city has all the ingredients to be a successful regional capital.

The reality on the ground is not as favourable. Public investment is needed to change the reality of Gosford.

Role of Gosford Gosford’s role extends beyond the immediate towards a local, regional and state context.

Its role as a regional capital brings with it aspirations, including: • Civic and Cultural role as the heart of city centre with the provision of services for a regional city providing employment and residential • Prominent commercial core functions – professional services, civic services (such as banks, police, court house, government agencies, Council, or regional library facilities) • Consolidation of government and professional services • Accessible city that is the focus of efficient movement of networks

BUSINESS TIPS

What’s on the line for business owners?

By Nathan Corrigan, Account Manager, Insurance House Central Coast

THE FAMILY HOME, personal investments, reputation are to name but a few.

With countless state and territory laws that impose personal liability on directors, a company’s breach of these laws can have an injurious effect on the business, your employees, you and your loved ones.

Company directors are coming under increased scrutiny from government regulators, institutional investors and shareholders putting untold pressure on the director to ensure their duties and obligations are carried out meticulously.

The majority of SME company directors conduct themselves with the best intentions at heart, but sometimes this is just not enough. The reality is SME directors devote their time to what they do best; servicing their customers, manufacturing quality products, etc. Often leaving little if any time for corporate governance.

The old adage ‘she’ll be right mate’ is no longer ringing true as even directors of well-managed and successful businesses are not immune from the threat of costly litigation or the imposition of civil penalties. Issues can arise from: • shareholders alleging misrepresentations in financial statement; • allegations by competitors for defamation, infringement of patent and restrictive trade practices; • inquiries by authorities such as ASIC or the ACCC for the breaches of the Corporations and/or Trade Practices Acts.

But it doesn’t stop there as being an employer adds another level of complex-

ity to the risk. You and your corporation need protection from litigation stemming from allegations of harassment (sexual or otherwise), wrongful termination, discrimination (age, race, sex, pregnancy or otherwise), failure to promote, to name but a few.

It is becoming an all too often occurrence with the broadsheet making a trade out of these matters. David Jones, Air Services Australia, and other headliners are well known to the public. But if you look at the basis of these allegations, they can apply to any business and quite often do without the directors’ knowledge.

With majority of businesses not having Directors’ & Officers’ or Management Liability cover, surely it’s worth making the phone call to your Insurance Broker to ask how they can help to protect against this risk … after all it’s yours and your families livelihood that is on the line.

If you would like to discuss the risk to your business further, you can contact Nathan Corrigan on 02 8913 9137.

BUSINESS TIPS

Mind your Business: How much is your business worth?

By Troy Marchant, Director, Robson Partners Chartered Accountants

You don’t have to be buying or selling a business to benefit from knowing what your business is worth. Your value might ignite a new ambitious yet achievable growth plan, and that’s always a good thing.

It’s a sad truth that around 80% of small businesses don’t end up selling. But a small business should – and can - be the best

asset you ever own, returning in some cases 20-30% annually. This means it will outperform property and shares all day long, however when comparing relative liquidity, and the path to retirement, property and shares do have an advantage.

The first thing to do for your business value is set a goal. If you want to move a business from say, $1m value to $2m in value, you need to set goals that drive strategic business value. Traditionally EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation) is a good business measure, driven by activities which produce income, reduce costs and more. At this stage of the Financial Year, it is important to articulate the financial goal for your business and, with your team, collectively keep your eye on the prize.

Next, plug the leaks. Review the financial statements of the last 12 months and iden-

tify costs that can be reduced, reorganised and refined. Also find ways to make your balance sheet work harder. Are you investing your profits in the right place? This might increase your investment value by up to 3-10%, bringing in diversified investment returns.

Lastly, re-balance your budget. Make sure your budget is in top shape, and that your team takes responsibility for their respective sections. Reward efficiencies, celebrate wins and make growth part of your business culture.

The value of your business hinges on the profits you make and an estimate of future cashflows. A true valuation can be an intricate process, with many intangible assets to consider. Always get expert advice, ask your accountant for past examples and do your own desktop research. Most importantly, have a plan, set a goal and go for it!

Employers Beware – Court opens the door to casuals double dipping

By Warwick Ryan, Partner, Hicksons Lawyers

It has long been understood that casual employees are paid a loading to cover entitlements that usually only permanent employees get, such as annual leave. In finding that a casual mining employee was entitled to be paid in lieu of annual leave upon the termination of his employment the Full Federal Court has potentially opened the door to regular and systematic casual employees gaining access to these entitlements and arguably double dipping in the process.

In a decision [1] that has sent shockwaves through employment circles the Full Federal Court last week opened the door to casual employees being entitled to annual leave (and potentially other leave) entitlements. If you think that sounds like double dipping you’re not the only one to react that way.

The all important facts: The employer, WorkPac operated a labour hire busi-

CENTRAL COAST BUSINESS REVIEW OCTOBER 2018

ness. It employed Mr Skene as a casual dump-truck operator. He was assigned to work at a coal mine operated by Rio Tinto in central Queensland. He worked a pattern of 12.5 hour shifts on a 7 days on, 7 days off continuous roster arrangement with his roster being set each year for the remainder of the year.

He was employed on this basis from July 2010 until his employment was terminated for conduct issues in April 2012. He did not take any annual leave during this period. He was paid a flat hourly rate (which at the time of termination was $55 per hour). At the time of engagement Mr Skene was given a ‘Notice of Offer of Casual Employment’.

He also executed a document entitled “Casual or Fixed Term Employee Terms & Conditions of Employment”, however, this document did not specifically define or describe Mr Skene to be a casual employee - although it seemed to be accepted by Mr Skene that WorkPac regarded his employment as casual. Nor did WorkPac specifically allocate any part of the rate of pay to a casual loading or as monies paid in lieu of annual leave.

On termination Mr Skene claimed he was a permanent employee entitled to a payment in lieu of annual leave. This was resisted by his employer on the basis that he was a casual employee.

Mr Skene was successful.

Like any decision the impact of the Workpac is likely to be confined to its fairly unique facts but it has nonetheless set alarm bells ringing and is a timely reminder to employers to think very carefully about how they engage employees.

Implications for employers: All employers who employ casual workers need to be aware of this decision and review their engagement processes to ensure they are not at risk of being hit with a significant unexpected liability for leave entitlements.

To avoid these kinds of liabilities it is recommended that employers who engage casual workers ensure that: • the basis of engagement is made very clear at the outset • the method of calculation of any casual loading and what it is intended to cover is also made very clear • rosters are only set a short period in advance and do not give rise to regular and systematic hours or patterns of work • the nature of the engagement be reviewed regularly and if an employee is working hours more consistent with permanent than casual employment that consideration be given to converting them to permanent employees.

FUNNY BUSINESS

MURPHY APPLIED FOR an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin.

An American applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the Department Manager. Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the questions. The Manager went to Murphy and said.

“Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job” Murphy: “And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct.

This being Ireland and me being Irish I should get the job!”

Manager: “We have made our decisions not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”

Murphy: “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”

Manager: “Simple, the American put down on question #5, “I don’t know.” You put down “Neither do I.” Did you hear about the banker who was recently arrested for embezzling $100,000 to pay for his daughter’s college education?

As the policeman, who also had a daughter in college, was leading him away in handcuffs, he said to the banker, “I have just one question for you. Where were you going to get the rest of the money?”

I am a very nervous flyer. During a trip from California to Indiana, it didn’t help that my connecting flight from Denver was delayed twice because of mechanical problems. Then, after we were aloft, I noticed the lights began flickering. I mentioned this

to a flight attendant. “I’ll take care of it,” she said. Moments later the lights went out.

Clearly she’d solved the problem by turning off the lights.

A passenger across the aisle who had been listening leaned over and said, “Whatever you do, please don’t ask about the engines.”

Fred got home from his Sunday round of golf later than normal and very tired. “Bad day at the course?” his wife asked.

“Everything was going fine,” he said.

“Then Harry had a heart attack and died on the 10th tee.”

“Oh, that’s awful!”

“You’re not kidding. For the whole back nine it was hit the ball, drag Harry, hit the ball, and drag Harry.”

An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor.

“Doctor, I just can’t get to sleep at night.”

“Have you tried counting sheep?”

“That’s the problem - I make a mistake and then spend three hours trying to find it.”

Our neighbour passed out in a dead faint as he came out of his front door onto his porch.

Someone dialled 000 When the paramedics arrived, they helped him regain consciousness and asked if he knew what caused him to faint.

“It was enough to make anybody faint,” he said. “My son asked me for the keys to the garage, and instead of driving the car out, he came out with the lawn mower.”

A new small business was opening and one of the owner’s friends arranged for flowers to be sent to mark the occasion and wish the owner luck.

The flowers duly arrived at the new business site and the business owner read the accompanying card to find it said, “Rest in Peace”.

The business owner rang his friend and told him what the card read. The friend was angry and called the florist to complain.

After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should consider this... somewhere there’s a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, ‘Congratulations on your new location.’”

A real estate agent had just closed his first deal. To his horror though, he then discovered that the piece of land he’d sold was completely submerged under water.

“The customer’s going to come back here pretty mad,” he said to his boss.

“Should I give him his money back?”

His boss roared at him, “Money back?

What kind of salesman are you? Get out there and sell him a houseboat.”

Quote of the month “Thinking is the hardest work there is which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”

Henry Ford
