Want to celebrate success?

mix it with your business (and laughter)
for real growth.

Craig Tunley

I am passionate about adding value – to people, businesses and places. I have spent the last 20 years of my career crafting economic environments that facilitate economic growth. I’ve looked at rural and regional economies from different perspectives and used my skills in data analysis, marketing, facilitation and business principles to inform actions supporting active communities.
It wasn’t enough and after some self-reflection and leadership training, I’m now on a different path – a path which I call business first economic development. I’ve long questioned what the economic impact would be in a community if every business employed one more person. Answer, it would be massive!

I realised long ago that not all businesses have had the education or experiences that I’ve enjoyed. The struggle is very real for many. I’m a keen golfer, a fan of destination events, love my weekly tennis game and fierce advocate for men’s health.

I don’t mind speaking in front of a crowd and love to celebrate success in whatever form it takes. I keep on seeking to build relationships with people, add value to our relationship and create step changes in local communities for regional economic development. I work with doers and I love to laugh out loud.

Let’s talk - I’ll buy the coffee…
