About Darway

Consulting, Strategy & Investment Specialist

Incorporated in May 2016 specifically to provide Australian small-to-medium sized enterprises (SME’s) with business growth consulting services, governance and strategic advice and access to finance and investment. Importantly, Darway provides SME’s with access to burgeoning Asian markets in terms of trade and investment. Equally, Darway offers its services to international corporations which allow access to trade and/or investment opportunities with Australian SME’s.

Darway’s Founder and Managing Director, David Thorn, has spent the past 30+ years cultivating relationships domestically and internationally, particularly in consumer-facing industry sectors. The last 15 years have been heavily focused on the Australasian corridor with extensive networks created across numerous jurisdictions.

The most active industry sector for Darway historically and arguably the one that offers the most in terms of future growth for Australasian trade and investment is the Food & Agribusiness sector.

Food & Agribusiness Sector

Darway operates extensively throughout the Food and Agribusiness industry which covers a range of different sub-sectors including:

(ie. beef, sheep meat, pork, poultry, goat, camel etc.)

(ie. fruits, vegetables and nuts)

(ie. both farmed and wild-catch)

(ie. alcoholic and non-alcoholic)

If your company operates in any of these sub-sectors or adjacent areas of the supply chain and you need help to grow your business through trade or investment, source the capital you need (either debt or equity), manage your business risks better, enhance your business' strategy or optimise your business' performance, please contact us today.
