District32, Australia's Premier business growth network, is thrilled to announce its selection as a finalist in the Telstra Best of Business Awards in the Outstanding Growth category! This prestigious recognition highlights the incredible impact District32 has made in supporting small businesses across Australia, growing from humble beginnings in Perth to expanding interstate and internationally.

Co-founded by the dynamic duo Lorraine Garvie and Dean Keating, District32 has quickly become the go-to platform for small and medium business owners who are ready to turbocharge their growth through powerful, strategic connections. Lorraine, originally from Scotland, and Dean, hailing from Ireland, merged their extensive experience in business advisory, sales, and development to build a business growth network that is transforming how small businesses scale.

"Our mission is clear: to help as many business owners as possible grow their businesses faster, smarter, and with fewer mistakes by harnessing the power of connection," said Lorraine Garvie, Co-founder of District32. "We believe in strength in numbers. Through our platform, our members experience exponential growth, unlimited opportunities, and access to crucial resources that might otherwise be out of reach."

The name District32 symbolises the spirit of local business—'District' represents locality, and '32' marks the latitude that runs through Perth, where this incredible movement was born. From its base in Western Australia, District32 has proven that when local businesses unite, they can not only survive but thrive, showcasing that the future of small businesses in Australia is brighter than ever.

Recognising the many challenges that small business owners face—from costly advertising to the need for better training and web design—Lorraine and Dean crafted a platform where business owners can tap into the collective expertise, contacts, and resources of a vast network. Their approach is simple but effective: when businesses come together, they can achieve more faster and with long-lasting success.
