Bo Burns Speaking to the Club about Time Online
Local business owner and Local Board member Bo Burns was the club's guest speaker at the last dinner meeting at the Howick Club.
Bo started her presentation by providing some background about herself. She was born, raised and educated locally and one of first jobs was working at Howick & Pakuranga Times. After working overseas she then cam back to work for Times Media befiore starting her own brand marketing business.
She is passionate about the local community and it it was this passion that drove her to purchase the digital assets of the Time Media Group when it went into liquidation recently.
Bo went on to describe the journey she has been on with the staff that joined her creating Times Online, first the continually online version, then the bi-monthly subscriber version and finally revealing (with the club being sworn to secrecy) that the print version would be back from the end of the week.
All this achieved while still running her business, being a Local Board member, a mother of 2 daughters. Well done her!
