The Group's success was made possible by Premier's unwavering focus on margin management, upskilling our workforce, and optimizing operational efficiencies. Despite financial limitations, Premier has been able to deliver on its investment case with resiliency and dedication to its goal because to R6 billion in capital expenditures over the previous ten years. Premier Group CEO Kobus Gertenbach joins with host Bruce Whitfield to help us comprehend these results. In recent months, a number of phishing schemes that target eFiling taxpayer profiles have surfaced, leading to the hacking of taxpayer profiles and the takeover of businesses. The major goal of scammers is to change banking information and login credentials so they may later file fake value-added tax (Vat) returns that are paid to the scammer's bank account. Host Bruce Whitfield speaks to Jean-Louis Nel, tax attorney at Van Huyssteens Commercial Attorneys, on how to safeguard your account and why and how the South African Revenue Service (Sars) will hold a taxpayer accountable if the fraud originates within the firm. In just over four years, Plato Coffee, a South African success story, has grown from its humble beginnings selling coffee out of a container in Centurion to a thriving empire with 58 outlets nationwide. Today, Plato Coffee employs about 350 people throughout South Africa, runs 20 corporate-owned and 38 franchise locations, and has a state-of-the-art roastery. Host Bruce Whitfield speaks to brothers Stephan and Petrus Bredel, the creators of Plato Coffee, about their adventure. Can a family handle personal finance management together? Create a family budget, discuss the five wellbeing areas and what they mean, set clear financial goals, review and maximize insurance, plan ahead for future expenses, teach children financial responsibility, use technology and financial tools wisely, hold regular family meetings, and seek professional advice. Bruce Whitfield is joined by Gugu Sidaki, Director and Wealth Manager at Wealth Creed, as she discusses how to have a family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this first episode I had the pleasure of welcoming back Sam Waterfall, London's Global Career Coach, as well as speaking to Andrew Elder, an experienced FMCG marketeer, for the first time, to discuss how to accelerate your job search in 2024. As a reminder, Sam is a high-impact career coach with a background in marketing and a no-nonsense approach to getting you the job you really want. Whether it's helping young people overcome their inexperience to land their first job, or it's working alongside senior leaders to build strategies for their career growth, Sam has worked with people in all stages of their career search (helping some land jobs in Nike, Redbull, Virgin, Facebook and the NHS to name a few!) Andrew has amassed around 25 years' experience working in a variety of marketing roles across FMCG. He's worked for organisations such as Kellogg's, Premier Foods and brands such as Birdseye, Quorn and Stella Artois. As an omni-channel marketeer Andrew has worked across insight, innovation and brand strategy but above all, he's an exceptionally nice guy with an infectiously positive disposition!   In this episode, we focus on how to accelerate your job search 2024. Through the conversation my guests provide actionable tips of how to help you find your next role including how to get the most out of LinkedIn Premium, the importance of having ‘clarity' in your job search and the benefits of networking and how to maximise this.

She talks of how her professional skills came into play in helping her to manage these moves – research, planning, project managing and networking – and how reaching out to others in her new destination helped her to learn from their lived experience and smoothed the transition.Once back home in Dublin and ready to resume her professional career, Marianna proactively reached out to people she'd been in touch with before her career break and took steps to get professionally and personally ready for her return. On a professional level she upskilled, and on a personal level she got fit and healthy, helping to ensure her return to work would be sustainable. “I do feel a big part is not just being professionally ready.

It is boom time for the ancient method of food production known as fermentation. And it is being driven by the growth in alternative proteins.   As the sector grows, new ingredients are being created by fermentation, and research is showing even greater possibilities for the future. Of course, as any lover of beer, wine, yoghurt, and cheese knows fermentation is nothing new.       But modern methods like biomass fermentation and precision fermentation are helping people innovate, not just through new products but also through incredible efficiencies in production.  Even at its most basic, fermentation seems like a slightly magical process.  So, in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we investigate at the science and look to the future to ask where the sector might be heading. Listen to the full episode to find out how fermentation is defined, how the process works, and why, despite being around for centuries, it could have a significant role in the future of food.

On this week's Money and Markets podcast, Danni Hewson is joined by Tom Sieber from Shares Magazine to look at what's behind April's huge price increases and how markets have been reacting. With high costs taking centre stage in earnings reports, Tom picks through updates – including from Mr Kipling maker Premier Foods, and US retail giant Walmart.    Markets are going through a very difficult patch, and Dan Coatsworth picks the brains of someone who's been through bad times as well as the good – James de Uphaugh from Liontrust Asset Management. He gives his insights into what investors should be thinking about right now. Though inflation is dominating sentiment, there's plenty of other news moving markets this week. Danni and Tom look at the reaction to China's announcement that Shanghai might soon end its lockdown, as well as a meeting between China's Vice Premier and tech execs which seems to herald the end of the tech crackdown. With an eye on future returns, we also ask David Jane from Premier Miton about the trends he thinks will be important longer term. Plus, we've got the latest Twitter twist, plans to change how often the price cap is fixed, a massive upheaval in the crypto-verse, and Jenny Owen shares a mad money story about a charity donation of £100 that turned into £140,000.

There was an immediate connection between Alan and Eli after their first meeting in 1993. Alan and Eli were both curious about understanding why good people make and often repeat bad decisions within their life and in managing organizations. They were also both passionate about applying a robust scientific approach to developing new Thinking & Decision making methods and advanced Technologies to help people make better, faster decisions – decisions that move them closer to their goals.

An example of a simple but powerful technique Dr. Barnard developed to overcome a common self-limiting belief — “It's impossible (to achieve an important goal)” — simply involves asking yourself or them… “It's impossible unless…?” Dr. Alan Barnard and his team at Goldratt Research Labs has developed a series of HARMONY DECISION SUPPORT APPS to provide users easy access to the breakthrough step-by-step decision support methods previously only available to their Fortune 500 clients.
