What our Clients Say…

• 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.

• Bridget Garay, Business Development Manager - Footstep Enterprises.

  Melanie has a vast depth of knowledge of business across a broad range of industries which is apparent when she is delivering workshops and conferences on small business.  Her practical experience in her own businesses gives her great credibility amongst her clients at ease and makes the transition into business less threatening.

  Melanie is highly respected for her work in assisting many people in their journey forward into business through workshops, mentoring and business planning. I would highly recommend Contact First to any organisation that is considering utilising their services in their business development.
