The team at Rowe Advisory at extremely excited about launching in Adelaide! We love this city – from its investment in training and upskilling its workforce, superior lifestyle and its advanced manufacturing facilities, just to name a few. We have written a short list of seven reasons why we see South Australia as an opportunity for growth.
-
Competitive business environment
There is a considerable amount of cost advantages that is associated with having your Companies Operations’ located in South Australia which can improve your company’s bottom line and which no other state can match. In fact, in the KPMG’s 2016 biennial Competitive Alternatives Report, Adelaide was tiered as the most cost competitive city in Australia.
These low business related costs follow onto the private sector labour costs where they are 10 per cent below the Australian average. This makes South Australia a wonderful place for workplaces, just like Rowe Advisory, to expand to Adelaide.
-
A desirable lifestyle
There is always talk from each state and city, boasting that they have the best quality of life, but in South Australia they really do have it!
Adelaide is ranked 5th most live-able city in the world! Along with its high quality and low cost of living, it syndicates business stability, continuity and bottom line benefits by creating high employee satisfaction resulting in high retention rates.
-
Centrally located
Another benefit is Adelaide’s central location within Australia which provides logistical benefits to all parts of Australia. There are well serviced domestic and international carriers into Adelaide airport, established sea freight routes and efficient ports and an integrated road and rail network.
-
Trained and educated workforce
Priding itself on being the ‘knowledge state’ South Australia continues to educate the next generation of thinkers, dreamers, doers, makers and creators at their highly-regarded universities across the state. An extensive range of graduates are ready to enhance your work place. Rowe Advisory Graduate and Work Experience Programs can help find the best graduate for your company.
-
Culture of innovation
South Australia’s commitment to its technology infrastructure makes it a place where ideas can be developed, trialed and sold to the world. With the State Government’s recent announcements of plans to spend AU$4.65 million in building Adelaide to be regarded as the Gig City network – Innovation is at its core.
In fact, Adelaide now boasts internet speeds of up to 100 times the national average. All targeted to help businesses become more productive with faster access to information from all over the world.
-
Progressive manufacturing
The backbone of South Australia of the last two centuries is having a strong manufacturing and agriculture industry. This is still alive and well today in South Australia with traditional technical skills providing a solid platform for new and existing businesses alike.
CD Power is a based in Adelaide and is making a mark Australia wide for the manufacture and servicing of remote power solutions for the Oil & Gas and Agriculture industries. As part owner of the business with partner Stirling MacGregor we are both acutely aware of what it takes to successfully operate and grow a business in South Australia.
