My Top Three Blogs

My top three blogs were from Bronte Marshall, Lara Shaw and Sophie O’Brien. All three of these blogs were written and presented very well.

Sophie’s blog is really well set out she has included videos, pictures and links to all of her annual reports. Sophie has talked about the financial position of her company Mondaphous (a leading engineering group, based in Perth, Western Australia). By what I have read on Sophie’s blog the company is extremely successful growing revenue in the past financial year by 37.8% and hitting the 2 billion dollar mark for the first time. Sophie has also included some other interesting facts along with videos about the company to add extra information. I like Sophie’s blog because it is interesting and simple at the same time. She has inspired me to include some videos on my blog as well.


Bronte’s blog is also very well set out. Bronte has included links to her financial stamens going back to year ending 30 June 2011. She has explained in some detail how the company is sitting financially as the end of the 2013 financial year. By the looks of what Bronte has written her company Greencross Vet (which is quite a well-known Australian veterinary clinic) has been growing revenue year on year. For the first time Greencross hit the 100 million dollar mark which is fantastic for any company. Bronte has then given revenue figures for the past 3 financial years: 2013 $106.704m, 2012 82.603m and 2011 61.216m. Bronte then also gives key points as to why Greencross has made such a great profit over the last few years and this is due to the opening of Greencross new state of the art veterinary hospital. Lastly Bronte has also included some key concept which she has learnt from chapter 1 and 3 study guide. I think Bronte has put in a lot of effort to her blog and it has paid off.


Lara Shaw’s blog was quite similar to Bronte’s, it is very well set out. I like that Lara has included some of the key concepts from her annual report readings and included some of the questions that she also had from that process. The only thing that I would suggest be a little different is that she could include some more financial information on her company. Lara Company is the Australian Agricultural Company, she has talked a bit about the disposal of some of the company’s property, plant and equipment, which shows that she has an understanding of what is happening in her company and that she has done some research. I like Lara’s blog because it’s got a mixture of different information and it presented well.
