Speaker 3 – Jeff Doidge from ATP Science:
Being in Logan gives us access to the ports, from the airport or from the sea docks. As far as the major infrastructure on the roads, it’s fantastic.

Speaker 4 – Ty Hermans from Evolve Group:
Freight costs are absolutely reduced from where we used to be based. Logan is really well placed because of the cost of land and having ready access to some really good skilled labour within sort of 10 or 15 minutes of the facility we’re not finding that we’re having to pay more to get them to travel further.

Speaker 5 – Wade Mellish from Holmwood Highgate:
We work very closely with schools and TAFE’s to make sure we can get the right skill set for the future. We’ve got upwards of 200 staff now, blue and white collar, and increasing the workers everyday because of the amount of work we have on. We operate the whole facility here from engineering, design down to manufacture and delivery.

ATP Science is now distributing into the UAE, into India, into Asia, we’re starting to expand quite rapidly internationally and that’s obviously very good for ATP and for Logan.

Speaker 8 – Kenton Campbell from Zarraffa’s Coffee:
What surprises me about Logan, is when you look you can find everything you need here. From the point of view of customers, staff and suppliers. There is no better place than where we are right here. You’ve got a Council who are pro-business and they work out ways for you to be successful, and that’s the biggest reason I’m here and the biggest reason why this has been a success.
