s-vox foundation was a canadian non-profit media organization dedicated to producing content on spirituality .

the organization is the successor to the non-profit entity that operated visiontv , and later other related canadian speciality channels , from 1988 to 2010 .

in june 2009 , the company announced it would sell its broadcasting assets to zoomermedia , a company controlled by moses znaimer .

the sale was approved by the crtc on march 30 , 2010 .

zoomermedia assumed control of s-vox 's broadcasting assets on june 30 , 2010 .

after the sale of visiontv , s-vox ’s board of directors undertook to use the funds to found the inspirit foundation .

inspirit is a national grant-making organization that supports canadians , particularly young adults , in building a more inclusive and pluralistic society .

one way the foundation does this is by funding initiatives that foster engagement and exchange between young canadians of different secular , spiritual and religious beliefs .

the commission also notes doc ' s comments about the level of funding allocated to the zoomermedia documentary fund and is of the view that its value is commensurate with the size and nature of the transaction .
the funds would be used to redesign the cinémathèque québécoise ' s website to provide canadians with better access to its collection of films , documentaries , television programs , production documents , photos , magazine titles , etc .
the commission received numerous interventions in support of the applications , one intervention in opposition and several comments . the public record of this proceeding is available on the commission ' s website at urltoken under
public proceedings .
in fulfilling this condition , all of the described video programming must be canadian , and a minimum of 50 % of the required hours must be original broadcasts . further , in calculating the required hours for the purpose of fulfilling this condition , the licensee may include up to one hour per week of children ' s described video programming at an appropriate children ' s viewing time ( which may be prior to or after 7 p . m . ) .
as noted earlier , the commission approved cci ' s acquisition of chnu - tv and ciit - tv in broadcasting decision 2008 - 71 . consequently , the change in effective control of these undertakings would occur shortly after a previous sale .

for the purpose of fulfilling the canadian programming expenditure requirement [ as set out in the conditions of licence for visiontv and one : the body , mind and spirit channel ] , the licensee may not include any expenditure related to programming that has been funded out of the benefits package approved by the commission with respect to zoomermedia limited ' s acquisition of the assets of vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien and the shares of vision tv digital inc .
9 . the licensee shall fulfill , by 31 august 2011 , all outstanding required tangible benefit expenditures flowing from christian channel inc . ' s acquisition of the assets of the television programming undertakings chnu - tv fraser valley and ciit - tv winnipeg approved in
the commission ' s practice is to include the following in the value of a transaction : the value of conditional future payments , the value of commitments related to operating leases and the value of debt assumed by the purchaser . it is also the commission ' s practice to calculate the value of a transaction as a whole without excluding certain elements . the allocation among different assets for the purpose of considering the proposed tangible benefits package only takes place after the assessment of the value of a transaction as a whole .
, the commission is not requiring the applicant to provide a tangible benefits package for this change in effective control . nevertheless , as set out in the small - market benefits exemption policy , the commission expects the purchaser of an undertaking to fulfil any of the vendor ' s outstanding benefit commitments . accordingly , the commission directs cci to submit , within 30 days of the date of this decision , the details of the expenditures of cci ' s remaining benefits to be expended by 31 august 2011 . those expenditures must be fulfilled by the aforementioned date .
a ) for the purpose of this condition of licence ,
balance programming
is defined as programming devoted to providing differing views on issues and events presented during the station ' s primary programming , which addresses matters from a christian perspective , and includes the presentation of different religions .
in reply , zoomermedia noted that the commission has approved the creation of a production fund administered by the parties involved as tangible benefits of other ownership transactions . 2 as for the genre of documentaries that would be supported by this fund , zoomermedia responded that the productions would fall within the commission ' s definition of a documentary program and focus on social and political issues or have an historical and archaeological nature . finally , regarding doc ' s comments on the amount allocated to the zoomermedia documentary fund , zoomermedia noted that it is the most significant benefit of its proposed package .
in reply , zoomermedia acknowledged that the broadband initiative / spiritual shorts would be administered by vision tv network . zoomermedia argued that the latter ' s expertise in commissioning and broadcasting programming of a spiritual nature and its commitment to the canadian production community are sufficient to make this a tangible benefit .
( d ) notwithstanding paragraphs ( b ) and ( c ) above , during the licence term , the licensee shall expend on canadian programs , at a minimum , the total of the minimum required expenditures set out in or calculated in accordance with the licensee ' s condition of licence .
a number of interveners expressed the concern that should the commission approve the acquisition of assets of visiontv by zoomermedia , the station ' s programming would be changed from a multi - faith format to one that is more focused on spirituality and multiculturalism and that is skewed to the 50 - plus demographic .
7 . in accordance with its commitment , the licensee shall file with the commission , concurrently with the annual return , annual reports setting out the details of all expenditures related to the tangible benefits associated with the acquisition of assets of vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien by zoomermedia limited .
the commission notes zoomermedia ' s agreement to file annual reports on its progress and performance in implementing the proposed benefits . accordingly , the commission directs zoomermedia and one to file an annual report as long as monies are outstanding and imposes conditions of licence to this effect in appendices 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 to this decision .
11 . in accordance with its commitment , the licensee shall file with the commission , concurrently with the annual return , annual reports setting out the details of all expenditures related to the tangible benefits associated with the transfer of effective control of christian channel inc . from vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien to zoomermedia limited .
the commission considers that zoomermedia has adopted a conservative approach to valuating the stations , given that its calculations are based on past information . it is the commission ' s view that a purchaser acquires assets for the expected future profits and not past results , and that the valuation should reflect that reality , including expected synergies and the prospect of economic recovery .
5 . in accordance with its commitment , the licensee shall file with the commission , concurrently with the annual return , annual reports setting out the details of all expenditures related to the tangible benefits associated with the transfer of effective control of vision tv digital inc . from vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien to zoomermedia limited .
10 . for the purpose of fulfilling the spending requirement on canadian programming , the licensee may not include any expenditure related to programming that has been funded out of the benefits package approved by the commission with respect to the transfer of effective of control of christian channel inc . from vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien to zoomermedia limited .
( d )
cornerstone programming
shall mean general interfaith programs produced or acquired by the licensee itself , while
mosaic programming
shall mean paid - time denominational presentations produced or acquired at arm ' s length by various faith groups . where cornerstone programming and mosaic programming are logged , the program classes used must be
cor
and
mos
respectively .
( the small - market benefits exemption policy ) , the commission relieved cci from the payment of additional benefits beyond those inherited from rogers . zoomermedia argued that the same relief should also be granted in this case . it indicated that cci ' s remaining benefits would be paid in part before the closing of the transaction with the balance to be expended by 31 august 2011 .
upon surrender of the current licence for visiontv issued to vision tv : canada ' s faith network / réseau religieux canadien , the commission will issue a new licence to zoomermedia limited . the licence will expire 31 august 2011 , the current licence expiry date , and will be subject to the terms and conditions specified therein and to those set out in appendix 1 to this decision .
the allocation of the value of the transaction is of particular importance in the context of these transactions because zoomermedia , on behalf of cci , expressed the view that it should not pay tangible benefits for chnu - tv and ciit - tv ' s change in effective control . the commission must therefore ensure that the valuation has been properly conducted and that the undertakings not subject to the benefit requirements are not overvalued .
. however , in that case , the initiative was not categorized as an on - screen benefit . in the present case , the commission recognizes the value of the proposed funding for cinémathèque but notes that this initiative would not result in an on - screen benefit for any programming undertaking involved in these transactions . in the commission ' s view , this initiative would more appropriately be categorized as a social benefit .
( e ) all solicitation of funds on vision tv must conform with the provisions of the licensee ' s code of ethics and program practices , as amended from time to time and approved by the commission , subject to the limitations as to time set out in this condition . however , the application of the foregoing condition of licence will be suspended if the licensee is a member in good standing of the canadian broadcast standards council .
the commission has allowed applicants to administer production funds in the past . in the commission ' s view , such practices are appropriate when no administrative fees are charged . the commission therefore reminds zoomermedia and one that no administrative fees may be charged for the zoomermedia documentary fund , the mosaic production enhancement initiative and the television and new media awareness and outreach on health and wellness for an aging population initiative , which are all self - directed funds .
( b ) in each broadcast year of the licence term , excluding the final year , the licensee may expend an amount on canadian programming that is up to five percent ( 5 % ) less than the minimum required expenditure for that year calculated in accordance with this condition ; in such case , the licensee shall expend in the next year of the licence term , in addition to the minimum required expenditure for that year , the full amount of the previous year ' s under - expenditure .
vision tv network , the current licensee of visiontv , is a not - for - profit corporation and the sole shareholder of cci , the current licensee of chnu - tv and ciit - tv . in addition , vision tv network is the sole shareholder of vision tv digital . in turn , vision tv digital holds a voting interest of 47 . 22 % in one , the current licensee of one : the body , mind and spirit channel , and exercises control by virtue of a voting trust agreement between one ' s shareholders .
in light of the foregoing , the ratio of on - screen to social benefits of these transactions shifts from 85 % : 15 % to 70 % : 30 % , which is inconsistent with the commission ' s general approach requiring that the majority ( approximately 85 % ) of the benefits should result in on - screen programming . accordingly , the commission directs zoomermedia and one to submit , within 30 days of the date of this decision , an alternate proposal to the funding for broadband initiative / media literacy for approval by the commission .
the commission recognizes that the programming on visiontv may be modified once the change of ownership occurs . nevertheless , the commission notes that zoomermedia confirmed that it would operate the four undertakings it is acquiring under the same terms and conditions as those in effect under the current licences . the commission is satisfied that visiontv ' s nature of service condition of licence , as most recently set out in broadcasting decision 2004 - 397 , and the definition of a religious program detailed in public notice 1993 - 78 provide sufficient safeguards to ensure that the programming on visiontv remains consistent with its religious nature of service .
the commission questions zoomermedia ' s proposal to allocate funding to vision tv network , the current licensee of visiontv , for the creation of audiovisual elements called broadband initiative / spiritual shorts . the commission generally requires applicants to demonstrate that expenditures proposed as benefits will flow predominantly to third parties , such as independent producers . the commission considers it inappropriate to allocate tangible benefits to the party involved in the transaction . accordingly , the commission directs zoomermedia and one to submit , within 30 days of the date of this decision , an alternate proposal to the broadband initiative / spiritual shorts for approval by the commission .
the primary business objective of healthcare organizations is to provide cost effective and timely services to their patients in venues ranging from traditional doctors’ offices , general or specialized clinics , urgent care or hospital emergency rooms ( ers ) . information technology ( it ) is not a core tenant and there is still a strong dependency on traditional paper - based records and associated error - prone and expensive human management . even with trends of deploying sophisticated medical technologies , including magnetic resonance imaging ( mri ) , that produce digital data stored on computer systems and voice based dictation and transaction to digital documents , physical paper - based records are still very much the norm , particularly in the u . s . and china .

one : the body , mind and spirit channel inc . across canada application 2009 - 1224 - 7 , received 4 september 2009
the commission approves , subject to certain conditions , the applications by zoomermedia limited ( zoomermedia ) , on behalf of itself and on behalf of christian channel inc . and one : the body , mind and spirit channel inc . , for authority to effect a multi - step transaction involving the specialty television service visiontv , the category 1 specialty television service one : the body , mind and spirit channel and the television stations chnu - tv fraser valley and ciit - tv winnipeg , as well as for a new broadcasting licence to continue the operation of visiontv .
further , the commission approves an application by mz media inc . for authority to transfer all its issued and outstanding shares from mr . moses znaimer to zoomermedia .
the commission received applications by zoomermedia limited ( zoomermedia ) , on behalf of itself and on behalf of christian channel inc . ( cci ) and one : the body , mind and spirit channel inc . ( one ) , for authority to effect a multi - step transaction involving the specialty television programming undertaking visiontv , the category 1 specialty television programming undertaking one : the body , mind and spirit channel and the television programming undertakings chnu - tv fraser valley , british columbia and ciit - tv winnipeg , manitoba , pursuant to section 10 ( 4 ) of the specialty services regulations , 1990 ( the specialty regulations ) and section 14 ( 4 ) of the television broadcasting regulations , 1987 ( the television regulations ) . zoomermedia requested a new broadcasting licence to continue the operation of visiontv under the same terms and conditions as those in effect under the current licence .
the commission also received an application by mz media inc . ( mz media ) for authority to transfer all the issued and outstanding shares of mz media , owner of the unlaunched category 2 specialty programming undertaking to be known as classical digital and licensee of the radio programming undertakings cfzm , cfmz - fm , cfmz - dr - 1 toronto and cfmx - fm cobourg , ontario , from mr . moses znaimer to zoomermedia , pursuant to section 10 ( 4 ) of the specialty regulations and section 11 ( 4 ) of the radio regulations , 1986 ( the radio regulations ) .
transfer to zoomermedia of all the issued and outstanding shares of vision tv digital inc . ( vision tv digital ) .
zoomermedia is a public corporation effectively controlled by mr . moses znaimer , who owns directly and indirectly , through his holding corporation olympus management limited , 77 . 89 % of the voting interest in zoomermedia . following the transaction , mr . znaimer would own , directly and indirectly , a 66 . 28 % voting interest in zoomermedia and continue to exercise effective control of the corporation .
because the commission does not solicit competing applications for authority to transfer the ownership or control of radio , television and other programming undertakings , the onus is on the applicants to demonstrate that the proposed value of the transactions is acceptable and reasonable .
in accordance with the asset and share purchase agreement ( the agreement ) , the purchase price for all the transactions is $ 25 million .
the agreement provides for the conditional purchase of programming for visiontv for a maximum value of $ 3 million . further , the commission notes that zoomermedia will be assuming operating lease commitments that are valued at $ 1 , 369 , 358 in total . these lease commitments include commitments for premises before the move in one year to the broadcast centre purchased by zoomermedia , commitments for transmitters and other equipment and a proportion of 47 . 2 % of the commitments related to one reflecting the economic interest acquired . finally , the commission notes that zoomermedia will not be assuming any debt .
of the $ 25 million purchase price , zoomermedia allocated $ 6 million ( 24 % ) to chnu - tv and ciit - tv and the balance ( 76 % ) to the specialty services .
notwithstanding the above and in light of the recently concluded sale and the economic downturn at the time of the transaction , the commission determines that chnu - tv and ciit - tv are not overvalued and accepts the portion of the purchase price allocated to these stations ( $ 6 million , representing 24 % of the transaction ) . accordingly , the commission applies the same proportions to the allocation of the revised value of the transactions as illustrated in the following table :
as set out in public notice 1999 - 97 , the commission generally expects applicants to make clear and unequivocal commitments to provide tangible benefits representing 10 % of the value of a transaction , as accepted by the commission . such benefits should be directed to the communities served and to the broadcasting system as a whole . further , in order to be accepted as a benefit , the proposed expenditure must be incremental to expenditures that would generally be considered ongoing normal responsibilities of the existing licensee .
zoomermedia , on behalf of cci , requested to be relieved from the obligation to provide a tangible benefits package equal to 10 % of the value of the transaction for the change of effective control of cci , licensee of chnu - tv and ciit - tv , beyond the benefits remaining to be paid by cci following its acquisition of the stations from rogers broadcasting inc . ( rogers ) pursuant to broadcasting decision
to this effect are set out in appendices 4 and 5 to this decision .
with respect to the acquisition of the assets of visiontv and the change in effective control of one : the body , mind and spirit channel , zoomermedia and one proposed the following tangible benefits totalling $ 1 , 900 , 000 to be paid over a period of seven years from the date of closing . the commission reminds the applicant that tangible benefits must be expended in a timely manner and that expenditures must be equally distributed over the seven - year period from the date of closing .
the commission notes that the applicant proposed that the zoomermedia documentary fund , the mosaic production enhancement initiative and the television and new media awareness and outreach on health and wellness for an aging population initiative would be self - directed funds . a detailed description of all benefits is set out in appendix 6 to this decision .
the writers guild of canada ( wgc ) questioned the appropriateness of allocating funding to the broadband initiative / spiritual shorts , an initiative managed by vision tv network , rather than to producers not party to the transaction . wgc further argued that funding for the mosaic production enhancement initiative and broadband initiative / media literacy should not qualify as tangible benefits because neither would result in programming to be broadcast on visiontv . wgc suggested that some or all of these benefits be reallocated to independently produced drama programming .
zoomermedia submitted that the mosaic production enhancement initiative should qualify as an on - screen benefit because it would serve to improve the production value and overall appeal of the projects submitted by independent mosaic producers , resulting in the eventual broadcast of their programs on visiontv and its affiliated stations . in addition , zoomermedia cited decision 2001 - 746 , in which the commission accepted funding for cinémathèque as a tangible benefit of an ownership transaction .
based on the information provided by zoomermedia , the commission considers that the mosaic production enhancement initiative would not only serve to create mosaic programs but also to improve the overall quality of the projects that would qualify for funding . in light of this , the commission is satisfied that this initiative is appropriately categorized as an on - screen benefit .
the documentary organization of canada ( doc ) and on screen manitoba raised concerns about the proposed zoomermedia documentary fund . doc argued that a self - directed fund such as this one eliminates the
checks and balances
needed to ensure that benefits are allocated as widely as possible within the production community . both interveners noted that a lifestyle series had been suggested as an example of a documentary that would be eligible for this fund . in their view , only long - form documentaries should be eligible . finally , doc submitted that the overall value of this fund is modest in comparison to similar ones created in the context of other benefits packages .
considering the revised value of the transactions for the undertakings subject to the tangible benefits policy ( i . e . visiontv and one : the body , mind and spirit channel ) , the value of the proposed tangible benefits package will increase from the proposed $ 1 , 900 , 000 to $ 2 , 232 , 071 ( i . e . , 10 % of the revised amount of $ 22 , 320 , 712 ) . given the revised tangible benefits package , the commission directs zoomermedia and one to submit , within 30 days of the date of this decision , the details of the additional tangible benefits totalling $ 332 , 071 for approval by the commission , as determined by the commission in this decision .
the commission is satisfied that the proposed condition of licence will ensure that the tangible benefits expenditures are incremental to the canadian programming expenditure requirements imposed on visiontv and one : the body , mind and spirit channel . conditions of licence in this regard are set out in appendices 1 and 3 of this decision .
the commission also requires that the tangible benefits expenditures be incremental to the programming expenditures on conventional television stations . however , the applicant did not make any commitments to ensure incrementality of the programming benefits flowing from the specialty services in the case of programs that would be broadcast on chnu - tv and ciit - tv . the commission is therefore imposing conditions of licence , as set out in appendices 4 and 5 of this decision , to ensure that any benefit spending resulting in programs to be broadcast on these television undertakings would be incremental .
some interveners questioned whether zoomermedia , a commercial corporation , should be able to hold the broadcasting licence for visiontv , which was originally licensed to a not - for - profit corporation .
zoomermedia submitted that the key issue was not whether visiontv should be owned by a for - profit or not - for - profit entity but rather what ownership would best sustain this canadian multi - faith and multicultural service and ensure its future success . zoomermedia added that the vision tv charity [ vision tv network ] board
believed , and believes , that this can best be done under the proposed new ownership .
the commission does not require the licensee of a television station or specialty undertaking that provides religious programming to have a not - for - profit ownership and management structure . accordingly , the commission considers that it is appropriate to allow a commercial corporation to be the licensee of visiontv .
zoomermedia agreed with the interveners that in the public interest visiontv must remain a multi - faith channel .
the commission has carefully reviewed the arguments presented by the vendor and the purchaser and is satisfied with them . furthermore , the commission notes that the change in effective control of cci and its undertakings is part of a larger multi - step transaction involving other assets that have not undergone a recent change in effective control .
in light of the above , the commission is satisfied that the integrity of the licensing process is not compromised .
in broadcasting and telecom regulatory policy 2009 - 430 ( the accessibility policy ) , the commission stated its intention to impose on television broadcasters and broadcasting distribution undertakings , at the time of their licence renewals , conditions of licence relating to accessibility provisions . accordingly , the commission will consider imposing such conditions of licence on visiontv , one : the body , mind and spirit channel , chnu - tv and ciit - tv at the time of their next licence renewals . in the meantime , the commission expects zoomermedia , one and cci to adhere , as soon as possible , to the applicable accessibility requirements specified in the accessibility policy .
in light of the above , the commission approves , subject to certain conditions , the applications by zoomermedia limited , on behalf of itself and on behalf of christian channel inc . and one : the body , mind and spirit channel inc . , for authority to effect a multi - step transaction involving the specialty television programming undertaking visiontv , the category 1 specialty television programming undertaking one : the body , mind and spirit channel and the television programming undertakings chnu - tv fraser valley and ciit - tv winnipeg , pursuant to section 10 ( 4 ) of the specialty regulations and section 14 ( 4 ) of the television regulations , as well as for a new broadcasting licence to continue the operation of visiontv .
the commission reminds the licensee that it expects broadcasters operating in the mandatory markets identified in broadcasting regulatory policy 2010 - 167 to convert their full - power , over - the - air analog transmitters to digital by 31 august 2011 . chnu - tv and ciit - tv are both located in mandatory markets and are expected to convert to digital by that time .
zoomermedia and one shall , within 30 days of the date of this decision , submit for approval by the commission an alternate proposal to the broadband initiative / spiritual shorts and the broadband initiative / media literacy , as determined by the commission in this decision .
zoomermedia and one shall , within 30 days of the date of this decision , submit for approval by the commission a revised benefits package to allocate the additional tangible benefits totalling $ 332 , 071 towards the approved initiatives , as determined by the commission in this decision .
the commission has examined and is satisfied with the application by mz media for authority to effect a corporate reorganization through the transfer of all the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of mz media from mr . moses znaimer to zoomermedia , a corporation also controlled by mr . znaimer . as a result of the transaction , effective control of mz media will continue to be exercised by mr . moses znaimer .
accordingly , the commission approves the application by mz media inc . for authority to transfer all of its issued and outstanding shares from mr . moses znaimer to zoomermedia limited , pursuant to section 10 ( 4 ) of the specialty regulations and section 11 ( 4 ) of the radio regulations .

mr ingham , who was the sole shareholder in ingham enterprises , said in a statement that he was excited to ' ' see the business embarking on its next stage of growth under the ownership of tpg ' ' .
a variety of products are produced at murarrie , including whole birds and further processed and packed portions . inghams required equipment that could provide a consistent level of chilling for all product types .
the most enjoyable part of working for inghams is working with other employees who strive to do their best day in and day out . the company has also been very supportive of my changing circumstances .
i worked at inghams for nearly 3 years i loved it was my first full time job in australia i was in the best section at inghams had the most loveliest people to work with i miss working there and still do i started from the bottom as a machine operator slowly progressing in my section then started getting saturday work the i became back up team leader i got picked to be back up i didnt know i had it in me to take on the roll but i done and i was pretty good at it so yes that job taught me alot about inghams but most of all about myself .
sheikh mohammed ' s team has spent the past two weeks inspecting the woodlands stud operation and will now have two studs in the hunter valley along with one in victoria and the inghams ' cootamundra farm .
not surprisingly , those numbers sparked a bidding war between a number of potential buyers , with private equity firm blackstone group the under bidder . inghams chief executive kevin mcbain will stay on under tpg’s control .
inghams has also taken a number of steps to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future , including unblocking its flush system , better separation of clean and dirty water systems , covering stormwater drains and installing a high level sensor in the stormwater system .
the deep chilling process results in inghams products having market leading shelf life , which allows them to be sold at a premium . the automated materials handling functionality of the srt and mrt also helps them to minimise the health and safety risks that arise from manual handling .
under the conditions of the deal , bob and his family will retain property assets and his current , much smaller racing operations . the reported terms of the deal value those assets at $ 120 million , but as tpg expands inghams and bob throws himself into building up his racing operations , that valuation could rise .
to maximise the shelf life of their chilled poultry products , inghams seeks to minimise the length of time required to chill their products . to achieve this they use very low temperatures to deep chill the product . in doing so , they require tight controls over the time spent in these low temperatures to ensure the product does not freeze , as otherwise it cannot be marketed as fresh .
“inghams are market leaders with our shelf life and the mrt tunnel and srt tunnel have helped achieve that . the recent installation of the srt tunnel was a fairly in - depth involvement with milmeq , and was a great success . with continuous upgrades that have been made by milmeq , the mrt tunnel is operating even better today than when we installed it 15 years ago , so that’s really saying something . ”

chicken billionaire bob ingham is walking away from the business that bears his name with a $ 1 billion sale that will see private equity group tpg capital pay $ 880 million in cash and the ingham family retain property assets and the racing business .
“an important part of the decision for me was finding a buyer who would ensure that our customers will continue to receive the highest level of service and our employees would be well looked after ,

ingham’s personal fortune of $ 1 . 15 billion ranked him at 25 on the 2012 brw rich 200 list .
tpg saw off rivals including fellow blackstone group , hong kong’s affinity equity partners , archer capital and the huge chinese agribusiness group new hope , the afr reported .
ingham had also been examining a public float of the business . it’s believed that the investigations for a possible ipo were run in parallel with the sale process in order to ensure that the right price was struck for the business .
ingham and his late brother jack built up the backyard poultry business started by their father , taking over running the operation in 1953 . bob ingham became the sole shareholder after jack died in 2003 .
he had reportedly decided to sell his business as none of his four children , and no close family members , were involved in running it .
with a western sydney business base and a large fortune to play with , ingham has also been tipped as a potential buyer of the western sydney wanderers a - league football club .
the football federation of australia plans to sell the club – which is in its first season and currently leads the league – within the next few years . some estimates put the price at around $ 20 million .
ingham also has successful racing interests and sold his woodland stud operation to dubai’s ruler , sheik mohammed bin rashid al - maktoum for $ 500 million in 2008 .

a poultry blood tank ruptured causing 1 , 700 litres of blood , containing a small amount of offal , to discharge into the surrounding area .
the epa said a blockage in the stormwater system , which the company was unaware of , caused the blood , offal and feathers to flow into nearby winding creek .
the authority has now accepted an enforceable undertaking by the company , which will see it pay $ 80 , 000 to lake macquarie council .
council will use the money for its mcnamara creek water quality improvement works , which have an impact on winding creek .
the epa said it is unlikely there was any long - term harm , as the chicken blood is biological in nature and will degrade over time .

the hardest part of the job was the constant heavy lifting . the best part of the job was the pay . management was not the best management i have worked with and could be a lot better . treated like a number and not a human .
typical day at work : sign in with pass to be let through the gates , walk down to the back area , get ppe from the uniform room , put on ppe . wash hands and boots , go through sign on , walk over to work station , check where i will be , put on correct gloves for the job , go to where i am allocated , work at my best to sustain the best of the product for the customers , work a repetitive / fast pace job , standing on my feet at all times .
i ' ve learned how to run and fix the tray pack machines . i ' ve learned bulk section , making boxes and everything in the tray pack section . . making friends at the job is so much fun . .
ingham ' s does have a culture problem with managers not being able to / wanting to control their people . this in turns makes project work very difficult as no one wishes to have a buy in . in all i have enjoyed working there , just this problem lets the place down .
it was good learnt a lot being on the production line and then moving to dispatch as working with computers printing off order slips for the orders and getting them to their location . was a fast pace environment because shuttles ( trucks ) couldn ' t leave with out there orders listed for the load manifest . every day basis was awesome working along the same people every day , knew our jobs and worked really quick . what i enjoyed was wrapping pallets manually and kept me fit . the hardest part of the job was getting the orders ready for the loads , but it was challenging and i enjoyed it .
i learned to be punctual in work and i was able to develop my working speed . i enjoyed all work and did not find any jobs as hardest . really good management and good working conditions .
awesome to work here . learnt various roles and picked up many different skills working on the boning line , cut up line and whole birds from time to time . i must say working in the cut up line morning shift was ideal and very great culture and vibe along the lines also great environment with the leading hand and management being top notch ! ! company does look after its employees and staff sales were awesome . overall great place and pay was more then good .
pay and working hours are mon - fri . staff sales really helpful , great and genuine people
was a good fun place to work with nice friendly staff and decent wages paid . i enjoyed working hard and keeping busy multicultural place for everyone .
it was a great paying job but the people who are there have little to do but be all up on your business . very ‘high school’ like as in gossiping but overall great clean job
great working conditions , great people . not so good with management . break times are ok . salary is ok . recruitment process too long and need to focus on employee needs
it is a fast paced working environment . i learned skills in management for various shifts . i gained extensive knowledge warehouse management systems isequel , bpics & pickman .
a typical day at work would start slow by sorting out the drumsticks and packing them into trays to be sealed off to woolworths or coles . as the night goes on the load slowly starts to pick up and we rotate from trays , to scales , to drum - sort and also packing . since beginning this job i learned that you must work as a team . if you ' re slacking or talking too much the person next to you is going to struggle clearing the load . you gotta be quick and also take initiative when you have nothing to do or somebody needs help .
learning the different machinery with great attention to safety in the process allowed me to be confident with learning new jobs / machinery quick as the safety aspect became part of the standard protocol with my everyday work ethic . hardest part of the job would be dealing with staff who would break safety protocol and getting them to understand the importance of following procedures step by step to ensure their safety and everyone around them . at the same time , it was also the most rewarding .
productive first moving . i leaned to pick and pack faster . every one was friendly and we worked as a team . i also met many new people . some of stock was heavy .

mfa members are focused on increasing the competitiveness of our regional food industry . to achieve this we have committed to sharing knowledge of our individual companies , discovering common areas for industry improvement and being open to exploring new and innovative concepts .
our members already lead industry in supply chain innovation and we continually seek to implement new technology and access new markets to provide a competitive edge . we wish to forge strong r & d relationships to tailor these opportunities to fit the individual and collective business need of our members . packaging , consumer research , energy alternatives , genetics and irrigation technology have all been raised as focus r & d areas .

macca’s supply chain is unique . our supply chain model is based on a culture of partnership and collaboration which makes it possible for us to serve consistently safe and high quality food .
it is important to us that our suppliers operate sustainable and profitable businesses and benefit from their partnership with mcdonald’s australia . it is equally important to us that we source our products in a responsible and ethical manner that contributes to the development of sustainable agriculture and food manufacturing processes .
macca’s is committed to supporting australian producers and manufacturers and our first preference is always to source produce from within australia whenever it is viable and appropriate to do so .
in an average year macca ' s spends more than $ 650 million on australian produce .
mcdonald’s does not own any businesses that supply to us and we have long term relationships in place with many of our suppliers , for example , we have been working with ingham for over 25 years .
we know that our influence in the market place brings with it a responsibility to ask for more than quality and price . as well as our environmental guidelines for suppliers , we have guidelines and programs in place in relation to social responsibility and animal welfare .
the foundation of our social responsibility supplier program is our global code of conduct for suppliers which outlines mcdonald’s minimum requirements in the areas of employment and workplace practices . the aim of this program is to protect the health , safety and human rights of workers and audits are regularly conducted in australia to ensure suppliers are meeting our social responsibility expectations .
our animal welfare expectations currently meet or exceed all minimum standards in australia . we also adhere to mcdonald’s animal welfare guiding principles in relation to animal welfare . we believe that animals should be ‘free from cruelty , abuse and neglect’ . our guidelines are based on technical standards and a comprehensive audit program which was developed using the knowledge of third party experts . to ensure supplier compliance , our beef , poultry and pork suppliers’ processing plants are annually audited by independent third party auditors from aus - meat .
we work with all our suppliers to assist them to provide us with an uninterrupted , long term supply of quality food and packaging in a way that minimises our impact on the environment . we also encourage the protection of resources that our suppliers share with the communities in which they operate .
we use a scorecard to measure supplier environmental performance for water , energy , waste and air quality related to the manufacture of mcdonald’s beef , poultry , and pork , potato and bakery products . our major consumer packaging suppliers also participate in this scorecard . some of our suppliers have made significant improvements to their business operations and have been acknowledged for this in australia and internationally .
for more information about mcdonald’s sustainable supply chain practices please download our 2012 corporate responsibility and sustainability report .
macca’s success relies on the “three legged stool” of the mcdonald’s system – suppliers , franchisees and company employees – working effectively together to supply safe , quality food to the restaurants while also delivering value to our customers .
many of our suppliers are making improvements , setting standards and being acknowledged for their quality environmental and employment practices . some examples include :
french fries supplier , mccain , has developed a new potato variety that meets mcdonald’s quality requirements whilst providing greater productivity and environmental benefits . the potato uses significantly less irrigation water than other potato crops . in comparison to the potato variety used primarily by mcdonald’s , this new variety is also more adaptable to dry conditions and more resistant to common pests and diseases . this means a reduction in the pesticide and fungicide used by farmers and also makes the safe storage of the potato simpler .
with a commitment to reducing waste to landfill mckey distribution recycles all waste cardboard and pallet wrap generated by incoming goods at each of their six australian distribution centres .

we have delivered primary food processing , materials handling and chilling and freezing technology to clients around the globe .
a milmeq® multiple retention time ( mrt ) tunnel with 4 , 400 carton capacity was initially installed at murarrie . this provided the ability to automatically index different product types , sort and chill them for appropriate times according to the product weight and density . the products are subjected to - 25°c for times between 30 minutes and two hours for chilling , or up to 24 hours for freezing .
when additional capacity was required , it was identified that product requiring the two hour chilling time made up the majority of production , and so a milmeq® single retention time ( srt ) tunnel with 3 , 600 carton capacity was designed specifically to accommodate this product . in the srt tunnel the product is automatically loaded , indexed on time , deep chilled in - 25°c environment and unloaded after two hours chilling time .
