In March we produced Bay of Plenty Business News’ new annual magazine ‘100 People’. “An idea that came from our readers,” says publisher Alan Neben. “A message came back to us last year loud and clear from Year Book readers: ‘We love hearing about the best businesses in the Bay, but we’d really like to hear more about their people; their back-stories and their philosophies; we’d like to know more about where they come from and what motivates them.'”

We listened, and so 100 People was born.

“When you put everything into writing and designing a new title, it’s a welcome relief when the quality of the finished product exceeds expectations – a big ‘thank you’ to the team at Blue Star. I was rapt to have the professional support and advice of account manager”. Mark Goodman
