We believe in being a force for good and that means:
- building a great company with a strong focus on our values and behaviours. My aspiration is to build a small, but mighty team that truly enjoys working together and delivers a world-class product and experience to our customers.
- serving our niche to the best of our ability and reaching those less fortunate than us. To that purpose, we have launched the Road to Reliability™ Scholarship program enabling students in developing nations to access our training with a 75% Scholarship
- aligning our company mission and vision to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The company is growing with a small team of full-time and part-time contractors working across the Asia-Pacific region, currently all reporting to the Managing Director based in Brisbane, Australia. We will deliberately hire talent in different regions of the world to keep costs down, create diversity, and build a multi-lingual team.
