Sam Lee & Joel Deakin . - George & King
George & King is Australia’s premier retailer of custom suits and shirts for men. With an experiential and technological innovation like no other tailoring company, the perfect suit is a few clicks away.
Founded by Sam Lee, Joel Deakin and Sze Ding in late 2011, the trio from Telstra Media’s business development and partnership team drew on their extensive digital experience and launched an online destination in April 2012 that made the suit buying process simple.
But it not just another online ‘measure yourself’ business. Yes you can measure yourself up and submit your digits. However, George & King offers 4 other measurement options and also a revolutionary tool to accurately measure the body via a webcam – a first in the southern hemisphere.
To give our customers a tangible in-store experience, George & King has in place 9 certified measurement partners nationally. Regular pop up concepts are also held across foyers of premium offices such as Governor Phillip Tower (filmed in Mission Impossible 2), Australia’s Square and Citigroup Centre in Sydney. More details around the next events can be found at http://www.georgeandking.com.au/popup/calendar
Foyers have been transformed into full-fledged tailoring stores with the perfect blend of iPads, barcode scanners, fabric swatches and tape measures. Australian men now have a hassle-free, unique way to buy quality customer suits and shirts, direct from master tailors, at off-the-rack prices.

Natasha Hawker – Employee Matters
Natasha started Employee Matters, with her partner Mark because they see many small to medium businesses (SMEs) that desperately need help with their people issues. We believe that you need HR support at particular times in your business but not necessarily in a full-time capacity.
We know that to have a successful business you need to be surrounded by a great team to help you deliver your service or product and free up your time to focus on your business critical issues.
So they integrated Natasha’s extensive HR and business experience with Mark’s finance background, to provide the HR support and business understanding that you need.
