Founder & Chief Executive, Woollahra Group
Chris Schmid is a proud Mandandanji man from Queensland.
He currently leads Malaga-based Woollahra Group, a one hundred per cent Aboriginal-owned business distributing cleaning products and other consumables to mining camps and mining workshops around the country.
It’s sister company, Surekleen Products, is the only one hundred per cent Aboriginal-owned cleaning manufacturing business in Australia.
The two businesses have achieved rapid growth over the past year, and that has translated to substantial support for their communities, as a percentage from every sale is redistributed.
As a Business News 40under40 in Indigenous Business and winning the First Amongst Equals award, Chris Schmid’s leadership reflects a deep commitment to community empowerment, sustainable growth, and creating meaningful change through business.
