The Owner Manager Programme (OMP) was huge for me. Not just the stuff I learned, but the people I met and the ideas that it generated. I have a whole new business model that formed out of the ideas and mentoring from OMP.  Our HQ is in Tauranga so we are offering this for another Bay of Plenty business."
