Launched at Parliament House last month – by Barry Buffier, deputy director general of industry and investment NSW – First 5000 is the brainchild of public policy network Global Access Partners (GAP) which initiates and promotes high-level discussions on issues facing Australia’s society and economy.

Members of the First 5000 receive networking tools, access to news, updates, blogs and feature commentary pieces, online discussions with other First 5000 members, partners and government and invitations to Global Access Partners’ conferences and roundtables.

Discussing the partnership, Sarah Emms, marketing manager for Kwik Kopy says, “We have some of the finest minds in the design and print market helping make this a reality and believe First 5000 are no different in their selection of top-minded business professionals.

“We’re excited to be partnering with First 5000 and look forward to connecting with this large and relatively underrepresented business sector. Most importantly, we look forward to showcasing our products and services, as well as our business initiatives, to this niche market.”

First 5000 members are companies that employ between 20-199 people and report an annual turnover of $10m or more.
