Who We Are

Our core values

  • Community: We believe the impact SME sector plays a critical role in building vibrant and inclusive communities. Localising business development creates more resilient and connected communities.
  • Partnership: We develop and maintain deep relationships with all actors to build the impact SME ecosystem. We are eager to learn from others, compassionate toward those in challenging circumstances and flexible in our approach for support.

Stuart has lived and worked in remote communities, understanding the realities of emerging and remote markets. He has also sat at some of the most powerful tables on the planet, having been an observer at the European Union and United Nations.
