Advocacy

We are excited to announce that Yellow Round Table has won the best new start up award at the 2023 Hume Business Awards.

The Hume Local Government Area (LGA) has long been a hub of economic growth, and the year 2021/22 was no exception, with an impressive 8.8% increase in Gross Regional Product (GRP), reaching $16.7 billion. The region saw a 6.6% rise in employed residents, further underscoring the vitality of this area.

Our start up journey:

Our journey as a start up began in 2022, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in such a short time. Founded by Rania Fayad and Kevin Mullins, a husband and wife team with a combined experience of over 40 years, Yellow Round Table is on a mission to transform communities, businesses and incorporated associations.

We’re not your typical consultancy, we push boundaries, champion progress and are trusted partners committed to driving positive change. Our vision for the future revolves around creating vibrant main streets, thriving businesses and connected communities, and this award reaffirms our commitment to that vision.

A year of achievements:

In our first year of business, we have already accomplished some remarkable feats:

Mainstreet Australia Conference keynote:

Rania was invited to deliver a keynote presentation at the Mainstreet Australia Conference in August 2022. Her insights into the complex process of establishing a main street marketing and business development fund, also known as Special Rates (a statutory process), positioned her as a thought leader and advocate for investing in local economies. She emphasised the importance of providing opportunities to businesses operating in shopping precincts and town centres across Australia.

Mainstreet Champion Finalist:

Rania was shortlisted as a Mainstreet Champion in the 2023 Mainstreet Australia Awards. This recognition highlights her leadership and dedication to educating volunteer led incorporated associations and organisations on advocacy, governance, marketing, and Special Rates.

Sustainability in Business Accelerator Program:

We are proud participants in the Hume City Council’s Start North and YGAP’s Sustainability in Business Accelerator Program, further cementing our commitment to principled, purpose driven business practices.

Pitch night triumph:

Rania’s victory during the Sustainability in Business pitch night celebration showcased her energy, warmth, and the scalability of our innovative services.

Industry Leader and Mentor:

Rania was invited by Common Purpose to participate in RMIT University’s Open Doors – Industry Unlocked session as a purpose driven, industry expert that was hosted by the India Chamber of Commerce (AICC). She had the privilege of sharing her insights with the next generation of leaders, emphasising the importance of building authentic relationships, networking, and shared tactics on how to influence positive change.
