What our Clients Say…

• Dr Jonathan West, Executive Director Indigenous Business Development - Queensland State Development

  I wanted to take this opportunity to write and thank you for making your precious time available to participate in the 2007 Reconciliation Business Forum. I believe this year’s Forum to be the most successful yet.  It goes without saying that without your contribution, this would not be so.

  We have received very positive feedback, from participants, on the input of the facilitators, panelists and testimonials.  Once again, thank you for your commitment to Reconciliation and for the constructive and useful advice, support and information that you provided to participants at the Forum.  Your participation and specific contribution was much appreciated.

• Cheryl Walsh, - Cheryl’s Place Hair Salon

  Melanie is a very assertive, professional woman who goes out of her way to get the job done! Melanie has helped me greatly in establishing my own business and will be my business mentor for the next twelve months.  I would recommend Melanie to anyone in need of her services.

• Jim Hermans, President - Wynnum & Districts Chamber of Commerce.

  I would like to officially thank you and your team for the way in which you orchestrated our biggest event of the year – the Wynnum Chamber Business Showcase and launch of our Business and Employment Initiative.

  We had two Brisbane City Councillors, a Federal Member and two State Government Ministers present for the function so the pressure was onto perform and I am glad to say you pulled it together.

  I particularly appreciated your can-do attitude and your willingness to serve from the time we contracted you to manage the event right through to completion.
  At no time during the course of the event did I have to take my focus away from what I was doing which to me says it all.  Once again thank you for your support.

• Alan Burgess, - Manager Economic Development.

  Contact First works with businesses to identify problem areas and opportunities, provides referrals to appropriate assistance and specialised business support agencies and information on how to access grants exporting opportunities, business and marketing planning, training and networking opportunities.

  To date, Contact First has been doing an excellent job in providing these services, and feedback from clients has all been very positive.

• Bob King, Senior Economic Development Officer - Indigenous Business Australia.

  I met Melanie when she was working for First Australians Business and as I was impressed with her work I sought her to become a contractor to IBA as a Preferred Service Provider.

  In this role, Melanie provides assistance to Indigenous people who are keen to establish or purchase their own businesses.  She assists these people with the development of their business plans and identifies business training that is required.  She also assists them to prepare a finance application to IBA for the funding required to enter into the business.

  I have always found Melanie to be extremely hard working, thoughtful, honest and caring for other people and she has been of tremendous assistance to her Indigenous clients, both business wise and on personal matters.
