Growth of 360 per cent in revenues in a single year delivering high technology, Australian designed and manu- factured products would be a tough chal- lenge for any business. However, the EOS production and engineering teams in Hume in the ACT and Queanbeyan in NSW have proven up to the task.”
The notable absences list is also an inter- esting read. Many companies choose not to take part for a variety of reasons, including;
