I'm very proud to have helped Taree Universities Campus win two awards - Business of the Year and also Community Services Award at the 2022 MidCoast Business Awards.
Working with campus CEO Donna Ballard was an opportunity to use my submission writing expertise to highlight the incredible outcomes notched up by the university in just over a year of operation.
Donna (left), campus coordinator Marlo Slavin (right) and the hand-picked community board use a unique employer-industry focused approach to solve critical skill shortages in our local workplaces. The result - more than 150 extra people of all ages are now upskilling and completing degrees with 76% of then already working.

BUSINESS SUCCESS PROFILE

IAN BIDS FAREWELL, SYLVIA SAYS A BIG HELLO
BLOOMS THE CHEMIST, FORMERLY SAXBYS PHARMACY
2-4 MANNING STREET, TAREE

When a business changes hands only twice in nearly 70 years, it deserves to be called a Taree institution. That’s the story at Saxby’s Pharmacy, established in 1951 and recently sold and renamed Blooms the Chemist Taree.

Long-serving owner Ian Carr and his wife, Jennifer, (nee Saxby) have retired and handed over to franchisee Sylvia Tawadrous (pictured right), who will take the business into its next phase.
Ian’s retirement ends the Saxby’s era which began way back in 1951 in the same location at 2-4 Manning Street, Taree, when Jennifer’s father, the late Ted Saxby, opened the pharmacy and became a household name. In those days, most medicines were formulated on the premises and some even had co***ne in them.

But Ted, and then Ian, who took over as owner in 2001, are not the only long servers. Three staff members who’ve also recently retired have also lived through a substantial part of the business’s history. Pharmacist Con Mottee, retired in March 2020 after a 65-year career. More recently Helen Everingham retired after 55 years, having joined Saxby’s when she was just 15, and Rhonda Trotter also retired after 50 years. That’s 170 years between the three.

Ian’s departure is a mixture of joy and relief. “One of the reasons I enjoyed the profession so much was the continuity of regular customers,” he said. “But after 33 years under the same roof, I needed a change of direction and as well as the opportunity to make myself more available to my family and friends.”
I suspect there will be many customers who miss Ian’s caring nature, professional advice and patient listening ear.
