Welcome to the Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 APAC Insider is excited to announce the return of the Australian Enterprise Awards for an eighth consecutive year! Australia represents nearly a quarter of our 105,000-strong circulation base, and so over the years we have been committed to shining a light on the very best of Australian business. Australia is known for its diverse and resilient economy, with the country experiencing an uninterrupted period of growth over the three decades prior to the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. In the years following the pandemic, Australian industry has experienced various challenges but has been recovering at a quicker rate than many of the world’s other top economies. In fact, Australia currently ranks as the twelfth largest GDP worldwide, which it has achieved despite its much smaller population in comparison to the countries placing higher in the list. Australia’s economy generates over $4.5 trillion in output, with the Manufacturing sector being the biggest contributor to this at a fifteen percent share of total output. In terms of revenue, Banking and Finance is Australia’s biggest industry, generating over $360 billion in 2023. Today’s financial landscape is increasingly turbulent, with volatile inflation rates, stunted revenue growth, rising funding costs, and regulatory issues just a few of the challenges faced by the sector. These hurdles do, however, also present a lucrative opportunity to those who can adapt to changing customer demands and fulfil the latest technology and sustainability standards that are transforming the Finance industry.

APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 8 Most Innovative Luxury RV Manufacturer 2024 – Victoria Borne from a passion for exploring the great Australian wilderness in a way that is luxurious, safe, and innovative, My Dream RV exists to transform caravan travelling as we know it. Founded by global business market leader, with experience in 12 countries across the world, Mathew John, My Dream RV is a handpicked team of caravan manufacturing specialists who know exactly what it takes to ensure the utmost comfort, safety, and style whilst discovering the wonders of the Australian outdoors. Living up to the company name, the team really do create the RVs of their clients’ dreams – and it shows through a glowing five-star rating on Google. We take a closer look at what makes this company and its caravans so highly renowned. Boosting the Australian caravan industry and its undisputed capital, Melbourne North, suburb of Epping, Broadmeadows, and Somerton, the highly skilled, qualified, and passionate team at My Dream RV craft every caravan to the highest possible standard, with award-winning features including the innovative shape of each vehicle, their custom offering, exemplary craftmanship and quality, and being the only company to build fully electric caravans. Each dream caravan is made a reality through months of meticulous planning of every single detail, from the unique aesthetic to meeting environmental requirements, all to ensure the entire experience is beyond compare for their valued clientele. The team hail from 14 different countries across the globe and have industry experience as niche as mining of precious metals, with this bringing the best in business practices and diverse insights to the table. My Dream RV came about when Mathew John saw an urgent need to address the difficulties plaguing caravan owners, with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) survey revealing that 80% of caravan owners have experienced a malfunction with their caravan that they could not fix, with many finding their issue was completely ignored by the company they purchased it from. Also amongst reports were misleading sales and claims regarding consumer guarantee rights and warranties. As such, My Dream RV has employed a holistic strategy that addresses these main pain points. “The wilderness is not a luxury but Jan24149 a necessity of the human spirit.” Mathew knows just how much a caravan means to its owner, as they have made a large financial investment and anticipated the ownership of their vehicle greatly. And when something goes wrong during a trip, it is all the more stressful, disappointing, and frustrating when they can’t get the help they need. Thus, Mathew understood that it was time for a vital change, promising to go above and beyond to conquer these challenges. Within the expert team is General Manager, Don Rafiq, a distinguished engineer with 50 years’ experience in Australian caravan manufacturing. With his contributions, My Dream RV has been able to introduce an efficient, rigorous, and precise product manufacturing process, which extends from the order being made, to assembling Quality Build, Unique Design, Australian-Made the caravan, to the delivery of the product to the client, and it includes any required follow-ups or repairs, too. Such in-depth development means that clients are guaranteed to receive their order within the agreed timeframe, and it also makes certain that they will be able to access support whenever needed, even during the most unexpected instances when it is needed most. By extension, Mathew and Don’s combined experience truly makes them a force to be reckoned with. To become as successful as it is today, My Dream RV has invested substantially in research and development, both locally and internationally, to ensure it remains ahead of the curve. It is a company that truly believes in the power of innovation, being dedicated to implementing state-of-the-art technology in its processes, while also working with designers around the world to feature the latest in design and components. Such collaboration with international designers means its caravans benefit from global influence while preserving that authentic Australian spirit. Therefore, the company is delighted to be working with Dusseldorf International to establish a facility beside its manufacturing site. This tactical partnership contributes towards the My Dream RV manufacturing process to allow enhanced quality and supply control should warranty claims occur. This also means it can use its own manufactured parts in the caravans it builds. It also works with safety-oriented companies to create pioneering
9 Australian technology with the aim of reducing road accidents that involve the towing of caravans. Such a robust focus on safety reflects the company’s commitment to its clients’ peace of mind when they’re out on the open road. With access to groundbreaking technologies and the ongoing forming of worldclass partnerships, My Dream RV is on a mission to truly exceed its clients’ expectations, taking their complaints seriously, resolving them, and revolutionising each and every caravan journey. The collaborations don’t end there, though, for the company also works with dealers dotted right across the country to make its caravans, parts, and accessories available in every state. It plans to expand this network further to enhance accessibility and customer service, reaching more prospective buyers and offering them more options. “Over the moon with how our 19’6” Dream Catcher turned out. Everything works a treat, and the quality of the build is second to none. Highly recommended to any first-time caravan owners like us.” Not only is My Dream RV dedicated to delivering strong functionality and reliability in its caravans, but luxury and style, too, with the team believing that comfort and stylishness should be a top priority in order to enhance the travel experience. From the moment an individual steps inside a My Dream RV caravan, they are welcomed by an elegance and sense of contentment created by thoughtful interiors, high-end amenities, the finest materials, and tasteful finishes, from plush seating area to fitted-out kitchen, to lavish sleeping space with storage space underneath, to electrics throughout. For My Dream RV doesn’t just create caravans, it crafts “dreams on wheels” that represent the Australian way of life – and they come in three product ranges: Dream Catcher, Dream Delight, and Dream Custom. Dream Catcher Dream Catcher is the first of My Dream RV’s caravan ranges to be rolled off the factory floor. With six caravans to choose from, they start at 17’6” on a single axle and go up to 23’ as family size, making the model suitable for everyone. Designed to be fully off-road, these caravans have everything that you would expect from an off-road van, plus so much more that truly makes them stand out within the Australian market. Explore the range. Dream Delight After the acclaim of the Dream Catcher line, My Dream RV
APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 10 launched its Dream Delight collection, redefining caravan luxury and showcasing unparalleled craftmanship and innovation. With two premier models available including the opulent 18.’6” and spacious 20’3”, these caravans are thoughtfully designed and exude sophistication, being crafted for those who seek to make each getaway unforgettable, stylish, and indulgent. Explore the range. Dream Custom The Dream Custom range features four tailor-made offroad caravans, designed to align with each client’s individual specification, aspirations, and dreams. Meticulously customised, each Dream Custom caravan is the perfect fit to their unique adventurer, making them matchless within the Australian industry. These caravans are more than just a vehicle, they epitomise the team’s devotion towards enhancing comfort and exploration, with each model paying the ultimate tribute to adventuring in Australia. Explore the range. Dream X Sporting a different shape, the Dream X model has a rounded top with a flatter base, making it a unique addition to My Dream RV’s collection. As Dream X is due to be ready for the market in the coming weeks. With this addition, and with My Dream RV working on other electrical systems to complement the evolution of its caravan’s looks, alongside the pending use of aluminium frames with composite roofs, we invite you to watch this space! “After deciding to upgrade from a hybrid to a full caravan, we searched high and low. We came across the 17’6 Dream Catcher from Mr Dream RV. It met all of our criteria for a couple’s van with fit out, attention to detail, and build quality. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Any contact with the factory has been very friendly and positive. Our trips away have proved we made the right decision.” While My Dream RV’s offering is a luxurious one, Mathew is sure to emphasise that this leisureliness and extravagance isn’t only restricted to the select few. He believes that luxury should be within everyone’s reach, thus making it more accessible for a wider audience through reasonable prices that are made possible by a refined manufacturing process and supply chains. However, this affordability isn’t to say that it loses out on quality – as we have gathered by now, quite the opposite of this with its fine craftmanship, materials, and features. Ultimately, it is easy to see how My Dream RV has come to be one of the fastest-growing caravan manufacturing companies in the industry, between the rapid expansion of its workforce – from 13 employees in 2022 to 45 employees in 2023 – and its unyielding pursuit of excellence and customer satisfaction through transparency and bending over backwards to fulfil their needs. Mathew is evidently highly dedicated to the company’s vision and the future of the industry as he continues to lead his team to greatness, tirelessly pushing the boundaries of innovation and transforming the caravan industry. There’s no denying the way the company cares, too, for its people, its clients, and its community. In the local community, it has contributed to major changes in the landscape of outdoor sports. My Dream RV supports its local sports in soccer, sponsoring Melbourne Victory, Bundoora United, Heidelberg United, Pascoe Vale Football Club, Sas Futbol Club, Eltham Redbacks, and Green Gully. It has recently proudly supported as international coaches, visited from top soccer clubs around the world to shape young players to play at an international level, and signed up as major sponsors for two years with Melbourne’s GTR events. Additionally, My Dream RV Cinema is a notable venture fully supported by the entire team. Mathew tirelessly channels his passion for football by working with filmmaker Vihan Suryavanshi to produce outstanding cinematic experiences. The pair’s creation, “The Ultimate Dream”, is an Australian football club documentary which comments on the pure passion within the sport – and this cinematic platform is set to offer so much more than a visual banquet. Always evolving, with its philosophy of expansion and development of new technologies in order to be a market leader in the sphere, My Dream RV prioritises being nimble enough to adapt to the ever-changing market and the strategies it requires. Mathew and Don truly make the sky the limit as they think on a global scale while still acting locally. Now, with their eyes set on the blindingly bright future ahead, Mathew, Don, and the team look to continue innovating new models and growing their dealer network, but the company is also excited to be launching its My Dream Village, a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. 100 acres of land nestled within the breath-taking mountains and surrounded by rivers and lagoons, visitors will be invited go walking, biking, as well as visit the onsite brewery, winery, and take part in a variety of recreational activities. Additionally, My Dream RV owners will have exclusive access and special discounts, nurturing a strong sense of community and experiences at a VIP level. “My Dream RV have built us the most stunning caravan we have had. This is our fourth van, and the quality of the vans are above and beyond our expectations. They were happy to custom build to our requirements. Thank you to the team at My Dream RV.” Having become a household name in such a short space of time, My Dream RV will continue to elevate people’s experience with Australian-made caravans. We wish the company all the best for the future to come. Company: My Dream RV Contact: Mathew John, Managing Director Email: [email protected] Website: www.mydreamrv.com.au

APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 12 Karam Boutique Residential is one of the largest and most successful property development companies in its region, operating throughout Queensland and the Sunshine Coast, and even going as far out as New South Wales, Byron Bay, and the fringes of Brisbane. Guided by an unrelenting focus on providing quality, boutique apartments for its diverse and valued client base, everyone from the discerning buyer through to the seasoned investor can find the right choice for them through this exemplary business. We have the pleasure of catching up with Chairman and Founder Neade Karam, who tells us more about the company’s stellar undertakings. It would be fair to say that Queenslandbased Karam Boutique Residential lives and breathes boutique residential development, viewing its work as more than just building properties, and rather, as an art form that is realised one step at a time. Firm in the belief that they are only as good as their most recent project - a sentiment that they feel too applies to all developers - this team strive to exceed even their own highest standards from one project to the next, pursuing perfection at every avenue. Determined to deliver projects that are exciting, innovative, and kind to our environment, Karam brings clients from all backgrounds together under the collective banner of excellent property investment opportunities. To get it right from the start, always and in all ways. This phrase serves as the backbone and guiding philosophy of Karam and stands as the very foundation that this company is built on. Leveraging a wealth of experiences and with numerous successfully completed projects under their belts, Neade and his team are proud to offer an allencompassing service that begins at pre-acquisition and continues through to post-completion, ensuring that clients are in great hands across the entire process. As Neade tells us, “good oldfashioned customer service and simple straight-talking sets Karam apart in our modern-day society and industry, after all, great service costs not a dollar more.” Bolstered by this ethos, it is the aim of this team to empower their clients, allowing them to grow their own brand and forge a real estate portfolio that knows no bounds, something that affords them with the opportunity and the freedom to live the life they want, utilising this portfolio to their advantage. Aiding Karam in achieving this for clients is its unique standing in the Queensland property development market, whereby it has chosen to focus on the key indicators of affordability and liveability, distinguishing it from its competitors, many of whom choose to prioritise infrastructure and migration flows. In doing this, a positive reflection can be expected in both assets and liabilities for clients further down the line. This going against the grain is just one example of the company’s proactive approach to putting its internal culture in action, a culture that is defined by what Neade refers to as a “commitment to growth on every level.” Although such growth is of paramount importance when it comes to evolving with the times, Neade stresses, “the qualities we value in our company are still pretty old fashioned, with the key ingredient being a total self-respect flowed outwardly the same way it flows inwardly.” While this has been adopted effectively and is present across Karam’s loyal, dedicated, and hardworking team, nurturing such a workplace environment requires constant effort and a keen attention to detail. In his leadership position, Neade seeks to educate his staff to the very best of his ability, before giving them the space to grow and develop on their own. As he explains, “through their very own self-development techniques, they learn and adapt along the way through life’s individual journey, and their collective journey [is what makes] the Karam brand what it is today.” Elaborating further on the wisdom that he seeks to impart to his team, Neade tells us about “The Karam Way”, which entails one remembering that anything and everything is possible if their belief is strong is enough and they back this up with hard work and dedication with a laser focus. On the back of this message, it is Karam’s united vision to create bespoke and boutique developments that are expertly designed, built to the highest calibre, and always aesthetically pleasing, ultimately setting a new gold standard for client experience. This vision is supported by the firm’s unwavering client commitment, which involves traversing the ebbs and flows of the cycles which dominate the real estate industry, the end result being that all investments procured are sound and ultimately positioned Best Residential Development Firm 2024 - Queensland Jan24539
13 as effectively as possible for longterm growth. Of course, these properties are not just for future investment, they are built for individuals and families alike to enjoy in the here and now, as well as for years to come. Such an outlook has resulted in the fostering of a five-fold process that is in effect across Karam’s operation, a system that is designed to make acquiring a property as easy as possible for clients, getting them in their new home as swiftly as can be. This all begins with the enquiry, before the contracts are processed, and then the deposit is paid. From here, settlement funds are arranged, and finally, the handover of the keys takes place. A process that can only amply be described as seamless, the transparent approach to business that is present across every element of this brand ensures that the correct morals and ethics are upheld and displayed, and staff are committed to delivering their quality services with pride. Now that one understands the mindset behind Karam Boutique Residential and the tireless efforts that have resulted in the establishing of such a renowned and celebrated brand, it is time to venture deeper into specifics, namely the company’s terrific residential development projects, beginning with those that have already been completed. To date, seven finished developments stand as beacons of excellence across Queensland, such as Central Apartments in Underwood. A fantastic location, this small suburb boasts such nearby amenities as shopping centres and supermarkets, and the three- and four-bedroom apartments comprising this complex have been expertly designed with both families and investors in mind. Equal distinction can be seen in the coastal suburb of Scarborough, where Ripple Residences offers all of the charm and uniquity this area is famed for. With close proximity to a breathtaking marina and some of the most enviable views of the famous Moreton Bay, these two- and three-bed room units radiate natural light and define open-plan living, making a sophisticated statement about contemporary luxury living in the process. In a similar vein, Sunset Apartments in Redcliffe, the first European settlement in Queensland, provide the ultimate seaside holiday on one’s doorstep, with these spacious two- and threebedroom apartments featuring two bathrooms, space for a single car, and a large storage area. Limited to 18 of only the finest boutique apartments, each with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space for one car, Dream by Karam in Chermside provides the premier tranquil suburban living experience that one would expect from a high-end, luxury, inner-city apartment, all from the comfort of a modern, trendy, and peaceful setting. Those who appreciate eye-catching, timeless architecture will surely be enamoured with Kings Beach’s Seashore Apartments, with this complex ushering in a new era of luxury living by the beach, inviting its residents to enjoy the sandy beaches, headlands, parks, and bike/walking trails adorning this landscape, made effortless by these apartments being so near to them all. The final completed projects are Address by Karam and Drift by Karam, the former of which is located in Coorparoo, a leafy urban suburb positioned in a vibrant restaurant precinct. Featuring eight glorious twobedroom units that span two levels, this development also includes a luxury town home, all nestled in a quaint location featuring such amenities as a cinema complex just a short walk away. In Woody Point, Drift by Karam features 14 two- and threebedroom units that are spread across three levels, and each unit features double lock-up garages on ground level. Perfect for thrill seekers, Woody Point is famed for its abundance of water activities, such as swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and jet skiing. In addition to these remarkable completed boutique residences, Karam currently has an additional two in construction, namely The Beverly in Rochedale South and Urban Apartments in Gaythorne. Billed as, “an investment that is tailored to perform”, The Beverly is an investor’s dream brought to life, thanks to a higher depreciation deduction and a building with low maintenance costs. The two-, three-, and fourbedroom apartments set to line this complex have been specifically designed to appease a resident’s every need, from the light-filled spaces and gorgeous views of
APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 14 the greenery below, through to the open-plan layout that is designed to maximise functionality and provide ample space. Likewise, Gaythorne’s Urban Apartments will embody urban living splendour thanks to 14 apartments overlooking this panoramic pocket of Queensland, all complete with sunny, northeast-facing frontages. Consisting of one twobedroom apartment, 12 three-bedroom apartments, and one four-bedroom apartment, these lowmaintenance apartments will be perfect for future investors, those looking to purchase their first home, or professionals. Untapped access to the nearby amenities of innercity living sweetens the deal, and from the shops, schools, and a train station all in walking distance, through to the shopping and dining experiences available in every direction, there truly is something for everyone here. More exquisite developments are set to follow in the near future, with five currently in the pipeline, Home by Karam in Mount Gravatt East, Sunrise on Deacon in Coppers Plains, Dream Luxury Apartments by Karam in Chermside, The Langford by Karam in Springwood, and finally, Tranquillity by Karam in Cleveland. Anybody who buys one of these apartments from Karam is also afforded access to its well-researched and architecturally stunning finishes, which are available in two distinct but equally desirable styles, luxury and signature. The differences between these two areas are subtle, but ultimately contribute measurably to a place being made a person’s own, as well as also impacting the overall investment. Regarding Karam’s luxury finishes, these represent the finest that its team have to offer, and they always think outside of the box in order to bring a bespoke sense of opulence to every space in a client’s home.

APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 18 Soulfully Guided’s Carmel-Anne Villella is an openhearted spiritualist who brings something unique to the table. Offering empathic guidance to help us through difficult times, giving us meaningful insights into our own lives, and providing us with the equipment we need to find a greater relationship with ourselves, and others, Soulfully Guided has forged countless relationships with individuals on their own exceptional journey. Here we talk to Soulfully Guided’s Founder and CEO, Carmel-Anne as she wins another title from us at APAC Insider. Tarot can be used as a tool for introspection, which helps us to look below the surface and learn more about our inner systems. As a psychological exercise that invites us to explore our mental and emotional states, introspection is a valuable process that helps us to observe and understand our inner world – especially in relation to our actions in the outer world. As many know, tarot is an ancient art which has made its way around the globe for centuries. Over the years, tarot developed from a casual parlour game to an instrument which can be used for divination. True magic lies in a tarot reader’s ability to interpret the cards as individual parts of a larger landscape, corresponding to different aspects of a life, and as elements of the bigger picture. This can help us to gain a better understanding of our ever-evolving emotions, overall emotional and mental wellbeing, past and present life experiences, and so much more, so that we can move forward into the future with a transformative approach. Connecting with ourselves on a deeper spiritual level is no small feat. When we initially set out on our journey to selflove, acceptance, gratitude, and growth, finding our unique path can seem overwhelming or impossible. There are endless resources dedicated to connecting with oneself and learning more about who we are – and how to live the life we want. Of course, navigating the waters of self-discovery comes with a heavy load of reading, talking, and spiritual exercises which may not sit right if we’re doing them without the correct guidance. This is where Soulfully Guided comes in. Delivering clear answers to our most complex questions, Carmel-Anne helps us to understand ourselves and the world around us. “With a natural, simple, holistic, and nurturing approach, we dissect your questions to provide clarity and direction that unlocks your most extraordinary power, potential, and possibilities.

Now, we’re celebrating her win as Most Accurate & Empathic Spiritualist 2024. Carmel-Anne’s business has offered so much wisdom, love, and kindness – delivering an abundance of peace, serenity, hope, and transformational magic to all clients. A. Louey shared, “As a first timer in tarot reading I could not rave enough about Carmel-Anne, she made me feel comfortable with the whole process – answering all questions and queries that I had. Everything was seamless and natural – like a conversation between two lost friends. Admittedly I was rather sceptical and anxious at the beginning as I knew absolutely nothing about tarot readings and unsure on what to expect – and what the reading was to reveal. However, Carmel-Anne’s professionalism, experience, mannerisms, explanations, and transparency with expectations of tarot card reading were top notch and cannot be faulted.” Shennae L. also commented on the precision of the reading she received: “Carmel-Anne was amazing. I’ve never had a tarot reading done before and I must say I went away with so much information. It’s like she knew me, but she didn’t. I highly recommend anyone wanting a reading to go to Carmel-Anne – she is amazingly gifted and it was a pleasure to speak with her.” For 2024 and beyond, CarmelAnne is even more focused on her own growth than ever before. She has set herself the goal of sharing her gifts on a more global scale, so that she can reach many others around the world. She adds, “One day, I would love to be a wellknown public figure psychic tarot reader and I will continue to strive towards this. I don’t mention this often, but the thought excites me deeply and it is something I want when my children are older. I would also like to write some books on tarot, my life story, healing, and anything else I’ve experienced that should’ve broken me but didn’t.” Carmel-Anne’s success story is one to go down in history, as she continuously demonstrates that we aren’t confined by what has happened to us – our magic lives in how we act, the choices we make, and how we grow. Carmel-Anne offers a bridge between our past experiences and our present healing, selflove, and future happiness. We’re sure to witness her dreams come true, and we can’t wait to see her flourish even further as she continues to have a positive impact on her clients.
