What began as a vision has grown into a strong, thriving organisation. There have been challenges, a few tears, and plenty of learning along the way — but through it all, Jackie’s passion, resilience, and determination have helped shape GKB Impact into what it is today: stable, growing, and stepping confidently into new opportunities.

With projections of reaching $20 million in our first full financial year — and even greater growth ahead — the foundation that has been built is something truly special.

Jackie has played a significant role in this journey, not only in establishing the business, but in embracing and respecting Noongar culture through strong and genuine leadership. Her contribution has left a lasting impact across the organisation.

As Jackie now steps into a new chapter within the business, focusing on developing professional environmental service offerings and tackling the complex space of offset management in the South West, we want to acknowledge and thank her for everything she has given to GKB Impact.

We also take this moment to thank our Board, Chairperson, parent organisation, industry partners, supporters, and mentors across the GKB family for their continued guidance and support.

From all of us at GKB Impact — we wish Jackie all the very best in this next phase. 🖤💛❤️
