Ms. Edwards, who worked with Northline as an external business advisor for most of her 11 years with Deloitte, has seen the company nearly double in revenue and dramatically expand its national reach. Before joining Deloitte, the chartered accountant had spent a decade at the Hindmarsh Adelaide Building Society, which evolved into Adelaide Bank in 1994. As CFO at Northline, Ms. Edwards works alongside CEO Craige Whitton, who held the CFO reins until late 2008. She has direct responsibility for financial management as well as the Human Resources and Information & Communication Technology areas. Ms. Edwards said she had accepted the CFO role as a new professional challenge. “You reach a point in your life when you need a change,” she said. |

 Billion Australia has slashed the price of two popular routers, including a 12.5 per cent reduction for the pocket-sized Billion BiPAC 5200SRD ADSL2+ router which now costs just $49.
Billion’s Australian distributor PC Range has also carved $28 from the price of the Billion BiPAC 7301VGP all-in-one VoIP (Voice over IP) router, reducing its RRP from $167 to just $139. The compact Billion BiPAC 5200SRD is an ideal router for home and SOHO users, with rich firewall security and a user-friendly web interface to manage a high-speed ADSL Internet connection. The pocket-sized device measures 140.5mm x 90.5mm x 35mm.  The Billion BiPAC 7301VGP is a true all-in-one VoIP router which lets you simultaneously enjoy the low cost and convenience of VoIP telephone calls and high-speed wireless Internet access. The unit’s RJ11 port allows you to connect an existing telephone set to make both VoIP and traditional telephone calls.
Effective immediately, these are the latest price cuts on Billion products from PC Range. Aggressive pricing made possible by the strong Australian dollar has seen Billion’s Australian sales setting new records every month since October last year. |
