Our Founder's Journey: A Personal Touch to Outsourcing Success

Written by Our Pacific Office | Dec 15, 2024 7:30:00 PM

The establishment of Our Pacific Office in Fiji reflects our founder, Brad Russell’s personal and professional aspirations. Launched in 2012, this initiative was driven by a vision to foster a supportive family environment while providing a dynamic platform for business growth.

The Family Connection to Business Growth

Brad’s visionary journey began with a personal challenge: finding the ideal educational setting for his son, Flynn, who was living with epilepsy. This led to a transformative move to Fiji, where Flynn flourished in a personalised learning environment. Inspired by this positive experience, Brad established Our Pacific Office as a successful business vehicle for giving back to the Fijian community. By creating jobs and nurturing local talent, he aims to make a lasting impact on the country that shaped his family's life.

From Tourism to Outsourcing: The Seed of an Idea

Initially, Brad focused on tourism marketing. In 2015, he partnered with Stuart Stratton, CEO of Connection Airport Transfers, to expand into the outsourcing industry. Inspired by his successful trial in Fiji, we capitalised on the island's talented workforce. What began with a small team of four quickly grew, driven by Fiji's culture and hospitality.

We've recognised Fiji as a prime outsourcing location. Fijians' innate hospitality and strong English language skills, coupled with the country's time zone proximity to Australia, enable us to provide efficient, culturally attuned, cost-effective solutions.

Empowering Local Talent and Building Partnerships

We're dedicated to empowering Fijians and driving economic growth. With over 70% of our workforce female, we're committed to expanding opportunities and up-skilling the local talent pool. By working closely with clients, we provide customised talent solutions that respect their unique culture and operational requirements, building strong, long-term partnerships.

We’re all about making a brighter future for Fiji. By creating jobs, celebrating culture, and offering solutions that fit, we team up with our clients to spark growth and positive change—one step at a time.

Why Choose Our Pacific Office?

Our Pacific Office is committed to building a brighter future for Fiji and the Philippines. By creating jobs, promoting cultural understanding, and delivering tailored solutions, we partner with our clients to drive sustainable growth and positive change.

Brad envisioned creating a platform that bridges gaps, refines processes, and brings businesses closer to their goals through skilled local talent. Our Pacific Office symbolises commitment, innovation, and heartfelt dedication to connecting businesses with cost-effective, culturally aligned talent.
