Twin business success stories

MOST business owners are happy to have one successful enterprise to run, but Marie George has two outstanding businesses to her name.

George’s Fruit Barn and the new Greenview Gallery are proudly run by Marie who has many major awards to her name.

Marie’s iconic Fruit Barn on Scenic Hwy between Avoca and Terrigal was named as winner of the Australian Award for Small Business which was an outstanding achievement for a Coast business.

The national award joined George’s hat trick of three consecutive Central Coast Outstanding Business Awards in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

And hard work and an attention to customers’ needs has been the hallmark of the success of George’s Fruit Barn down through the years.

The business motto is: “If you can’t find it anywhere, go to George’s”.

That sums up the team’s tireless dedication to customers who often struggle to find unusual fresh produce for special recipes and are indebted to George’s for their professional assistance.

“George’s Fruit Barn maintains high standards in customer service and strives to exceed customer expectations on quality and service to maintain a positive consumer experience,” Marie said.

Green View Gallery and Cafe

And Marie also operates the successful Green View Gallery, located just down the Scenic Hwy between Avoca and Kincumber.

“Although I am not an artist I have an appreciation and flare for design and I wanted the local Central Coast Artists

to have a gallery to hang and showcase their fine art works,” she said.

Five years ago, Marie purchased the property that was originally the old Lizotte’s building and has turned it into the Green View Gallery and Gift Shop outlet for local artists.

And Marie has recently opened a beautiful Airbnb above the gallery called appropriately the Green View Retreat.

The Gallery has been an instant success for artists, providing excellent sales and achievements with their fine art, crafts, ceramics, jewelry, and sculptures.

The gallery also has a great range of gift ware, women’s fashion clothing, leather bags and men’s wallets, jewelry, cane baskets and home wares.

Marie also just opened the newly renovated Green View Café adjoining the Gallery which offers all day breakfast and

lunch,

The new Green View Café is open seven days a week, 7am to 3pm.The Gallery is located at 263 Avoca Drive Kincumber and is open six days a week, Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 2 pm daily. www.greenviewgallery.com

The Fruit Barn is at 251 Scenic Hwy Terrigal. Open daily 7.30 am to 6.30 pm. www.georgesfruitbarn.com

THE Garden Café at Wyee Nursery is back bigger and better than ever after being closed for two years during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Café reopened in July and has a new team with an amazing manager who bakes the fresh scones every morning and are a customer favorite.

The Café is open for breakfast up until 11 am with all the usual tasty favorites available plus specialties of the menu plus great coffee. Then the Lunch menu takes over with a wide range of choices in beef, chicken or vegan burgers, quiche, wraps and salads plus other specialties.

Beware Frankenstein Business approach

ORACLE Tree works with established, successful SMEs that have been successful and are really good at what they do, but their growth has plateaued.

Often this is because they lack the systems needed to support the growth they’re aiming for, and they don’t know where to start to fix this.

“We call this a Frankenstein Business - where lots of different parts are stitched together with no real syner-

gy. Things were kind of working for a while there, but now they’re not,” the team at Oracle Tree said.

“We look at their business ecosystem as a whole. We show them how to optimise their operations, and provide them with strategy first branding, website design and development, automation and ongoing digital marketing solutions to fuel their growth.”

Dyson Logistics experts in freight

TO say the last few years for Central Coast businesses dependent on international freight has been a difficult one would be an understatement, according to the multi award winning team at Dyson Logistics

With the rising cost of international freight and delays due to weather, war, COVID 19 and staffing shortages in key logistics areas such trucking, a considerable strain has been placed on many Central Coast businesses.

But Dyson Logistics, a full-service international freight forwarding com-

pany, have been uniquely positioned to assist local businesses right here on the Coast.

Being a local they have the ability to service Central Coast exporters and importers with rates and service unmatched by companies based in Sydney who don’t always value their clients as individuals the same way Dyson Logistics do.

“Being located close to our clients has helps us understand their needs much keener than a forwarder not based in the area would have the capacity to do,” Dyson Logistics CEO

and Founder Kane Dyson said.

“This matched with the professionalism of our staff, their immense experience in the industry and our vast global network of agents has meant we have been able to lessen the burden and impact on our clients, saving them considerable time and money.”

Dyson Logistics were rewarded for their efforts earlier in the year with an Australian Small Business Champions Awards in the Transport and Logistics category.

Up against some stiff competition from across Australia, they proudly

represented the Central Coast on the night.

Of their win, the judging panel commented: “Dyson Logistics is a well-respected Central Coast icon who continues to grow their international freight forwarding business with integrity and pride. Wanting to break the logistics industry mould of profit at any cost, they focus their business attention on servicing customers through great relationships and with an understanding of trust and transparency.”
