Jean Cannon who runs the energy management consultancy EnviroAction www.enviro-action.com) sent a recent email entitled "Stability is just an illusion". Jean went on to talk about the pace of climate change and what we all should be doing to counter this and build sustainable processes in our businesses.

The message is relevant across every aspect of our businesses. If we believe that nothing will change and act accordingly then we will be left behind by the pace of change. It is incumbent on each and every one of us as business owners and managers to plan for change and to put into place systems and processes that will allow our businesses to not only cope with but, hopefully, to profit from the ever changing environments we work within.

Product innovation and productivity gains are key to keeping ahead of the changing market and economic conditions. In our target market, the food processing sector, those businesses that continue to succeed in the current economic climate are those that focus on and are willing to invest in these areas.

Cedar Creek Company continues to work with its customers to provide innovative solutions and systems that will contribute to these efforts. Recent months have been very busy for the entire team at Cedar Creek with significant projects undertaken. We have been engaged in major upgrade projects with existing customers and have been rolling out our distribution software across multiple sites for one of Australia's most significant poultry operations.

The successful handling of multiple projects across Australia and New Zealand at the same time is testament to the strengths of our Project, Technical and Professional Services teams. Credit must go to all of them and the hard work that they have all put in over recent months. Credit is also due to those customers and their people who have worked with our staff to ensure successful projects.

I believe that the best outcomes that we can deliver for our customers come from working in partnership to identify business needs and to add value through the systems we deploy. From this we derive our profits and our pride.
