Connecting people
to People.

Passion: My three greatest passions have come together in my work and personal life – that is people, horses and learning.

Why you believe in Runway: I believe in the impact that communities can deliver. Whether it is in a physical or virtual space, the coming together of like-minded individuals to support, encourage, share, collaborate and learn from each other delivers great benefits back into an ecosystem. These benefits will increase longer-term sustainability. In summary – I believe in the power connections that communities foster. Runway’s purpose is about connection. Connecting people with people, people with programs and people with places. A complete ecosystem.

Passion: I am passionate about helping people achieve their dreams, about making where we live better and about working towards a sustainable future for all of us.

Why you believe in Runway: I believe in Runway because it wears its heart on its sleeve. A not for profit which strives to help regional business communities through support, encouragement and sharing of knowledge. We believe in the power of people connecting with people, the uniqueness of places and the values they hold and of course the value in sharing knowledge and practical skills.

Passion: I am passionate about helping people around me build a strong foundation to enable them to grow both personally and professionally. As such, I am always challenging myself to learn new skills and grow myself so that I can support others. On a personal side,  I am very passionate about my family, the outdoors and taking long walks.

Why you believe in Runway: As far back as I can remember, I have particularly been interested in supporting people. Runway offers that opportunity for me to add value to the lives of people in my community.

Passion: I love new experiences, traveling and meeting new people. One of my favourite pastimes is cooking- I love sharing my food with others and make them happy with my food!

I like learning something new and having an adventure. I believe in empowering and helping others while focusing on self -development and self-improvement.

Why you believe in Runway: Runway is an organisation works to benefit their cause and the wider community. Runway is a community focused organisation, that pride themselves on creating an eco-system to help our community and develop our economy. In our challenging times and the hard few years, we lived since covid. We need organisations like Runway to encourage and lend a hand to start ups and small businesses so we can grow and recover and come together as community to make a difference and stand stronger than ever.

Passion: I am passionate about encouraging people and helping them to succeed.  In my own life, I like to give things a go, always give it my best, and never be discouraged.  Let’s never be afraid to try something new as it can take us into opportunities that we never anticipated were possible, and it’s never too late.

Why you believe in Runway: Runway is about people and helping them to build strong foundations to support their business, that they have the best opportunity of success.  When we are new to business, or trying something new, we can struggle on, on our own, or we can take the opportunity to learn from those with experience and wisdom, who have gone before us.  Such is the case with Runway.  Runway has a great team of mentors with a wealth of experience in business and product development, strategic planning, and marketing, and they desire to share that knowledge with others, to help them succeed.  As the name suggests, Runway gives new and small business an environment to gain momentum and take off.  That’s why I believe in Runway.

Passion: My passion is to taking pride in the work that I do and supporting people in their path to success.. I want to create a positive workspace where people of all types of backgrounds are whole-heartedly valued. I’m also passionate about video games and Greek mythology, so feel free to listen to how I ramble on about how the four seasons of the year came to be!

Why you believe in Runway: I feel so proud to be given a chance to be part of a co-working space that provides LOTS of learning yet with such an enthusiastic and fun environment. To me, the core of Runway is their WONDERFUL people that encourage me to challenge myself further than I’ve ever done before. Working at Runway everyday is never the same and I’m so proud to be given this opportunity to help others grow with knowledge like the way Runway has helped me.

Passion: I’m passionate about using strategic design, creativity, and innovation to address some of the great challenges and opportunities of our times.

Why you believe in Runway: Working with Runway to help businesses become resilient, adapt, and grow plays an important role enabling us to build communities, an economy, and environment fit for the 21^st Century.

Passion: I am passionate about people and organisations being able to connect their ideas to action and outcomes and about the importance of good decision making. I am passionate about helping others succeed and in doing so being useful. When not doing that, I am passionate about cycling.

Why you believe in Runway: I believe in the Runway purpose because it focuses first and above all else on supporting regional communities and people through connections, practical support and skills development.

Passion: I’m passionate about supporting people to chase their dreams.

Why you believe in Runway: The excitement of being involved with a new business venture as the founders navigate their way to find the path to success, is highly rewarding and fulfilling.

Passion: I am passionate about people, performance and fun (maybe not always in that order). From a work perspective, teams and organisations that are leaders, that have innovation, that are good places to work and that achieve sustainable outcomes – all have a focus on people, performance and fun. And I think this is mostly relevant in non-work environments as well.

Why you believe in Runway: For me, there are many aspects of what Runway does that I connect with. Probably what resonates most is the focus on building entrepreneurial capability – and this is relevant for those in the Startup world but also for people within existing businesses(small, medium and large).

It is a cliché, but the only constant is change, so the work that Runway does on supporting innovation (especially its focus on regional and rural environments) I think is really important for the future health, vibrancy and sustainability of towns and regions.
