The Founders & The Team

FOUNDERS

We started District32 to help business owners succeed so that they don't have to struggle. We met after Dean coldcalled me on his arrival to Australia – he wanted to connect with people in Perth who had an existing network. We tried many ways to work together; from referral partners to joint ventures. Nothing worked. Business owners couldn't afford to work with two consultants, Dean being outsourced sales and myself in strategic marketing. It was then we realised that business owners didn't have the time or the cash flow to invest in advisory and training and networking and advertising – they needed to choose and they needed to choose, and they needed to choose wisely. We knew we could offer a strategic option and District32 was born.. District (meaning local) and 32 (the latitude running through Perth) was created to help business owners create more revenue, more profit, and more opportunities with access to strategic shortcuts so they can reach their goals faster with fewer mistakes.

Eight years on and we're still fighting for the small business owner. We know that business is hard, but we believe with everything we have, that everyone can succeed when they are in the right environment, with the right education and with the right people.

We invite every ambitious business owner to join the tribe. We are stronger together through The Power of Connection.
