What an exciting week of sporting events – Wimbledon, FIFA World Cup, and yes- Rugby League!
This week our guest speaker was Cameron McGregor, MD of McGregor and Bailey Chartered Accountants and Chairman of Carlaw Heritage Trust- the new owners of The Warriors. Cameron shared with us the journey he had to undertake in order to keep the club ownership in New Zealand. Throughout the challenges he faced, Cameron found success by striking the right balance between sports and business.
