It is human nature to want to hear from people who have had to confront the very decisions we have before us, and have lived through the changes we may be signing ourselves or our colleagues up to. This is why we decided to conduct peer interviews.
You will read the reasons why key decision makers, executives, entrepreneurs chose to base their businesses in Wollongong. We also interviewed some of those who were affected by a business’s decision to move to Wollongong, such as family members.
We have grouped the interviews into the sectors the interviewee work in. We hope you too will soon enjoy the benefits of an improved work-life balance and business outcomes thanks to your move – reach out to us, we would love to help.
