Industry Reviews

LOOK AROUND YOUR WORKPLACE ON AN AVERAGE DAY IN AUSTRALIA AND YOU'LL SEE THE POWER AND STRENGTH OF SMALL TO MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMEs). FROM PROVIDING VITAL SERVICES AND NEW, INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS TO, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, EMPLOYING YOU - SMEs ARE THE BACKBONE OF OUR ECONOMY.

Over my career in the private sector, and particularly my time as Chair of Jobs for NSW, a startup, fast-growth SME and regional business funding agency, I've seen the enormous influence that small businesses have on our lives.

Approximately one fifth of the entire Australian population work for small businesses, and they account for 44% of employment in the private sector.1

Small businesses are also key creators of new jobs. In the six years to 2014 in NSW 100% of all new jobs (net jobs growth) came from growing SMEs.

The business owners and CEOs in this book are at the forefront of that wave of economic power.

Clearly, we owe them and their businesses a great debt, and I am pleased to see they are being recognised and celebrated in this wonderful book.

The life of a small business owner is a rich and rewarding one, yet as these stories show it also brings its own challenges. To succeed you have to believe passionately in yourself, your team and in your business.

Every businessperson featured should feel proud of their accomplishments, and the hard work they have dedicated to making their business, and our country, flourish.

They are an inspiration for us all.

From all of us - thank you.
