Practical business guidance for regional and remote start-ups and brave business owners *

Having grown up, lived and worked in “the bush”, I know what it takes to operate a business in a regional area. It’s also important to recognise that starting or running a business can be hard and you sometimes just need some good advice. So combining my experience in business with my desire to support like-minded business people, The Bush Business Collective has become a reality.

Combined with my hands-on experience as a business executive, leader and manager I am a qualified Business Trainer. I’ve delivered nationally accredited training across core business areas including finance, marketing, operations and leadership. I bring these practical skills directly to your team through tailored workshops designed to boost capability and confidence. This is perfect for businesses or industry groups needing practical up-skilling in areas like budgeting, communication or customer service.

Businesses in rural Australia are dynamic and innovative and we should be buying from the bush - I’m here to help give you some additional business skills to add to your toolkit, that you may not find close to home.
