With the goal of uncovering some helpful ideas that you can use in your own business. In this issue of Real Life Business Lessons you’ll learn how a business owner used technology to turn business problems into business profits. I was chatting recently with Rodney Pilbrow the owner of Pilbrow Surveying. Today’s case study Rodney graduated from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining. Then worked in South Africa for five years on coal mines. When he returned to New Zealand in 1996 Rodney went to work with his father, Geoff Pilbrow, who in partnership with his mother, Sally Pilbrow, was supplying construction surveying services to the Auckland region.
