Ute meets The Lord Mayor of Adelaide at the Eastwood Business Breakfast

The Rotary Club of Eastwood held another successful Business Breakfast on Wednesday 21 October. Over 70attendees heard Adelaide Lord Mayor, Martin Haese, speak about his business life and his visions for Adelaide and SA. Guests also admired the End Polio Now Ute strategically parked on the footpath, at the front of the venue, onDequetteville Terrace (as did the thousands of cars passing).

Martin Haese spoke of his approach in business – when it is working well, change it. He was “always tinkering” and stressed the need to never be complacent. He successfully ran a chain of retail stores in Adelaide and Melbourne, was a board member of the Rundle Mall Authority, then its General Manager. Until earlier this year he was the chair of the Bay to Birdwood rally. His wish is to see more export businesses in SA – we are the lowest per capita in Australia. He is also passionate about renewable energy, and has been invited to Paris to speak on a Carbon Neutral City.
