As the Managing Director of ForceOne Enterprises Pty Ltd, Ling runs the family of companies with the skill and finesse that has become her trademark. Her list of qualifications is testament to her total dedication to always do her best.

Ling holds a BA from one of the most prestigious universities in Japan, Keio Gijuku University, and an MBA from Bond University. Her international career covers a wide range of industries over a 30 year period beginning as an Assistant to the Representative of Lions International in Japan, and subsequent appointments with major US companies to assist their heads of operation in Japan such as Levi Strauss and McMillan.

In Australia Ling was the Overseas Marketing Director of Bond University and received a Queensland Export Award in her second year from the Queensland State Government.

Ling sets a great example for all those who work with her by constantly challenging herself and raising the bar higher. Her success is underpinned by what can only be described as an extraordinary determination to overcome obstacles. Born in Japan, but considered non-Japanese because her father was born in Taiwan, Ling had to work harder and achieve more than her peers to be accepted.

Ling was the one of the few non-Japanese to be admitted to the prestigious Keio Gijuku University, an incredible achievement that most Australians, born in an egalitarian society, would find difficult to understand. Ling's ability to exclude negativity from her life has ensured a strong sense of pride in herself and a resilience that nothing can erode.

Ling is a great role model and mentor in the company. Above all, she shows that we all have total control over who we can become.

David Strachan could best be summed up as a very likeable Aussie larrikin - defying conventions in the most interesting ways. He is an honest man - a straight shooter. A very loyal and respectful person who makes room to help anyone. A man of great integrity, he lives by the creed that giving to someone brings more back. Doing business with David is a bit like having a beer with your best mate - you walk away afterwards feeling damn glad he is on your team. For David, everything is about perseverance. There are ten ways to solve a problem.

David is also a man of many and varied talents. For the most part, David has spent his life doing broad acre farming in Moree, NSW. His family continues on the land today. David is also a top horseman, competing in polo cross at a high level. Always on the lookout for another challenge, he became involved in off-farm investments, buying and selling wherever there was a good opportunity. His knowledge of the real estate market led him to become more heavily involved in the industry where he set up an agency in Angourie, Yamba, NSW. He relocated to Brisbane 2004 and joined the team at ForceOne Realty.

Something which David is quietly proud of is his writing. He is a published poet who writes poems and lyrics which reveal so much about who he is and what he believes in. David has now commenced writing a new book.

David has a very special relationship with South Africa, particularly Soweto, where his wife and son come from. He spent more than 6 months there getting to know the culture and the people.
