On Wed Feb 10th, ClearPoint was profiled on NZI Business Breakfast with Corin Dann interviewing Managing Director Phil Pietersen. The segment focused on Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), particularly those that experienced good growth during the recessionary challenges of 2009 and who also are engaged in growing export opportunities. ClearPoint meets both criteria and we were delighted to get the chance to talk about the sort of organisation that we are, where we are going and what we aspire to be. Big thanks to Corin and team!

Uncomfortable time for national sovereignty - particular when there is a misalignment of fundamental beliefs.
