Description

The Owens Story: The Life and Businesses of Sir Robert Owens 1999 by John McCrystal. 'When Bob Owens was honoured in 1997 for his services to business and the community, he modestly declared that success in business is the result of teamwork rather than of the efforts of every single individual. He accepted his knighthood as a kind of 'man-of-the-match' award. This book tells the story of the group of companies which grew from their small beginnings in a one-man canvas-stitching operation started by Bob Owens in 1953 into the Owens Group, Australasia's leading transport and freight-forwarding operator, and Owens Service Bay of Plenty, a group of cargo and materials handling companies based in the Bay of Plenty. It is a classic rags to riches story, and as such, covers the ups as well as the downs which litter the path of any successful enterprise.'
