The Alick Buchanan Smith Spirit of Enterprise Award Winner Our first finalist this evening is the ANM Group Ltd, currently employing over 500 people working in the areas of livestock marketing, auctioneering and meat processing.  Since the company started in 1870 it has grown rapidly, in spite of dramatic changes within the agricultural industry, diversifying into catering and estate agency services for farms, estates and rural properties. ANM Group’s commitment to staying at the forefront of business technology has helped them to continue to expand the business, even during times of change in the agriculture industry.  They strive to maintain business operations at the forefront of technology and established a ground-breaking state-of-the art remote bidding system, eBid @ live auction in 2004.  The system allows remote bidders to buy directly into live auction sales, using internet access from the comfort of home or office.
