Experience and Understanding

Helen spent most of her young life on grazing properties in Central Queensland. The free open spaces allowed for creative and innovative learning opportunities and the use of limited resources, which have proven to be beneficial experiences in Business.

Then small business management followed in retailing experiences in hardware, household, music and fashion. She owned her own shoe and fashion accessory shop for over 6 years.

Marrying a highly innovative and skilled engineer, Helen further developed her understanding of Business when she established a partnership in the family engineering business that has continued for over 38 years. This involved managing the administration, financial, planning, marketing and promotion of this business.
