WBN MEMBER CONVERSATIONS

With all of the fantastic reports we have been receiving from our Member Conversation Series, we absolutely agree that it has been beneficial to introduce and profile some excellent Wheatbelt business owners. Next up, is Matt Henderson from MDH Transport based out of Nangeenan.

Matt began his business journey as a sole owner-operator based out of Port Hedland working as the main truck driver at the mines. From there it has grown to a huge fleet with over 30 trucks apart of his business spread across from Port Hedland all the way down to Nangeenan.

The past two years have been massive for Matt and the MDH Transport Team as they are coming off the back of two huge harvests. Matt credits the success to his supportive and skilled staff members and is proud of what they have been able to achieve together. Matt credits incredibly hard work is what has gotten him to where he his today. Congratulations on your business success so far Matt, we look forward to seeing what else MDH Transport can achieve.

This is a brilliant conversation between Matt and Rach which you can watch as a video or as a podcast episode. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Make sure to jump on over to MDH Transport’s social media pages and give them some love.

WBN MEMBER CONVERSATIONS

As we continue to roll out regular episodes of our Member Conversations we continue to introduce you to some talented individuals within the Wheatbelt. This weeks episode is no exception with Elyssa Giedraitis from EJG Creative who was the joint winner of the Digit Business Advisors Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2022 Wheatbelt Business Excellence Awards joins Rach on the mic.

Elyssa is the owner and operator of EJG Creative initially started doing social media for family business Wespray Boomsprays in Wongan Hills. Curating an online presence that allowed people to see inside the business. It was while trying to connect with other local businesses on socials that the gap in the market presented itself- rural and regional businesses were not harnessing the power of social media and online media.

EJG Creative is a creative agency specialising in social media and marketing services for small, rural businesses. We have a number of WBN Members that utilise Elyssa’s services and they could not speak more highly of her. Elyssa also has some side hustles including the The Introvert Archive, Behind the Business and AgForm. We really have no idea how she fits them all into her schedule.

This is a fantastic conversation between Elyssa and Rach – thank you for your time Elyssa this has turned into a great video and podcast episode for everyone to listen to.

WBN MEMBER CONVERSATIONS

On this edition of Member Conversations, we have invited Wild Fusion Skincare which is owned and operated by Samantha Fricker, a Cosmetic Formulator, based on her farm in Beverley. Sam has an authentic passion for creating luxurious skin care products that contain ingredients that are naturally derived, biodegradable and fused with scientific activities. Not only is this a fantastic business but it was also highly regarded at the 2022 Wheatbelt Business Excellence Awards when they took out the Wheatbelt Development Commission Owner Operator Business Award.

Sam comes from a business and accounting background which has assisted her being able to look at her business’ numbers and metrics to find areas for improvement or how she can capitalise on the areas that are generating significant income. This is an aspect of the business that Sam prioritises and finds interesting to delve into. Sam also explores the challenges that business owners experience as an owner operator business and we commend her on being able to recognise the triggers and implement changes to make sure she continues to love the business and the work she does.

This is a beautiful conversation between Sam and Rach which you can watch as a video or listen as a podcast episode. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Make sure to jump on over to Wild Fusion Skincare’s social media pages and give them some love and likes.
