Michael Paul, Pack & Send founder and CEO, said “Australians are well-known for their enterprising spirit and willingness to have a go. We’ve seen huge demand from small businesses partnering with Pack & Send over recent years and with this in mind, we wanted to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the sector, as we know the challenges small business owners face.

“The Pack & Send Small Business Logistics Grant means one lucky small business won’t have to worry about logistics and will instead be able invest time and effort on growing their business.

“We hope the grant helps the winning business drive success not only on the domestic stage, but internationally as well,” said Paul.
