I cant think of any one business, but I would say one that was started by someone from the bottom and worked hard and honestly to build it up into being very succesful.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service and Angel Flight who care for sick people hundreds of kilometres from the nearest hospital. Also, Indigenous Literacy Project supported by Australian Booksellers & Publishers Association who distribute books to young children hundreds of kilometres from the nearest library.

Its hard to "admire" a company who are basically out to make as much money as possible even if it is dressed up in occassional charity events to fool the public. Most companies have seedy underbellys and its hard to make a definitive judgment on any one company but i guess any company that hires locally and puts a lot of money back into the surrounding economy and provides a decent and reliable healthcare system is ok by me.

A job of a teacher I like most. What I think about the teacher is he or she is creating future of the nation.

I admire Amazon and I admire Apple...Both companies made significant contributions to the world as it is today.
Technology changed and the way we regard books changed!!!..Unbelievable contributions by Jeff Bezos at Amazon and Steve Jobs at Apple.
