Get out of town: running a tech company in a regional area

Belkin

Multinational IT product manufacturer Belkin has based its main Australian operations on the Central Coast after an acquisition of a local business eight years ago.

Managing Director Jeremy Attwood said a move from Gosford to Tuggerah (both on the Central Coast) in 2006 enabled the company to have a facility comparable to any found in the capital cities.

"Our 10,000 square foot warehouse could have been in Western Sydney, but we wanted to base ourselves in Central Coast," Attwood said.

Belkin has 95 staff in Australia with 70 in Tuggerah.
