20 years ago I was 14 years old and just finishing my first year of high school – the biggest decisions of my short life were likely to do with which subjects I’d take in fourth form (Art and Woodwork for anyone who cares!)
However, 20 years ago was also the day that Murray and Sue Pearson founded Cadimage Solutions – the business I started working for 13 years ago and which I purchased 3 years ago.
In 1989 New Zealand was still in a recession following the crash of 87 and everyone told Murray it was not a good time to start a business – Murray’s opinion: it can only get better!
Twenty years later it is almost fitting to have survived another recession and be looking forward to returning to strong growth in the coming years.
Over the years Cadimage has had some remarkable achievements and now consists of a group of four companies with both local and global focus’s (foci?)
The Team at Cadimage (both past and present) have built a strong customer driven business which we can all be proud of.
New Zealand’s economy is built on small business and I personally think 20 years is a remarkable achievement.
I’d therefore like to thank everyone including the founders, past employees, current employees and most importantly our customers both here and around the globe to contributing to this success!
Cheers to 20 more!
I thought I would catch up on your Blog as it always has interesting stuff relating to your travels. Great to read your 20 year young posting. A significant component that carried the business though those 20 years has been the team. We were very fortunate to be joined by people like you who worked extremely hard and were highly self motivated. No real management required, you identified problems and solved them, identified opportunities and proposed solutions.
Going from joining the business part time while at university to owning the business 10 years later is some achievement.
