The Collie Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) is delighted to introduce the next event in our Business Connections series.
Join us in celebrating the incredible journey of Partners In Safety, founded by local couple Alecia and Peter Swan, as they officially mark the grand opening of their business.
Born from a clear need in the community, Alecia identified a gap in locally available safety solutions and set out to create a one-stop-shop tailored to the Collie region. With the support of a grant from the Collie Futures Small Grant Program, that vision has become a reality with the recent opening of the Partners In Safety store, now three months in operation and already making a strong impact on local industry and small business.
A proud local initiative, Partners In Safety is more than just a store, it's a hub for safety knowledge, top-tier protective gear, and practical advice for everyone from trades to industry professionals. From workwear and equipment to expert product support, Alecia and Peter have created a space where businesses can access trusted solutions with a friendly, local touch.
