WHY WE STARTED FRANK
To solve the biggest challenges we face today, government and business must work together. Whether it’s tackling climate change, advancing infrastructure, or creating jobs in regional areas, the solutions we need are too big and complex for any one sector to tackle alone. There’s incredible potential for collaboration — and that’s where we see the greatest opportunity.
At frank, we believe that government and business can create more value together. When industry and government align, we unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and positive social impact. We’ve seen firsthand the power of strategic partnerships that drive real change, and we’re passionate about making those connections happen.
But let’s face it — navigating government can be difficult. There’s no clear front door, and once you’re in, getting results takes skill, knowledge, and persistence. That’s where we come in.
We understand the intricacies of government. Our team has decades of experience in both senior political and executive roles, so we know how decisions are made and how to guide policies from concept to implementation. We bridge the gap between business and government to ensure that both sides work together toward common goals, and we focus on solutions that get results.
At frank, we don’t just talk about ideas — we help make them happen. We work directly with our clients to craft strategies that turn vision into action, connecting government priorities with real-world business needs to unlock tangible value for communities and taxpayers.
We’re different from traditional consultants. We don’t just provide advice and leave you with a report. We dive into the work with you, driving outcomes and making sure your strategy gets the attention it deserves. We’re not about more meetings — we’re about getting things done.
Frank isn’t just a name; it’s our philosophy. We approach every challenge with honesty and boldness, but we also bring deep expertise to every conversation. Whether you have a big idea or are stuck navigating bureaucracy, we’re here to help you move your strategy forward.
Together, we can create lasting change. If you’re ready to make a difference, let’s talk.
