March 2009 & Recent Press

Itree expands operation to the $34M Innovation Campus located in the Illawarra high technology corridor. Officially opened by the NSW Minister for Transport and the Illawarra the Hon. David Campbell MP in January 2009. The new head quarters at Innovation Campus provides scope to grow and expand the business to a 200 person operation.

Recent Press: “Itree an example to other start-ups”

(extract from the Illawarra Mercury)

“Itree provides a great example of what is possible in the Illawarra” according to University of Wollongong vice chancellor Professor Gerard Sutton.

Professor Sutton described Itree as “an agile and responsive company” and hoped that “its success would encourage other start-up companies in the Illawarra”.

The Minister for Transport and the Illawarra the Honourable David Campbell said he â€œwas impressed by the company’s decision to develop its national headquarters in the city where it started, and that “80% of the staff were University of Wollongong graduates”.

Itree managing director David Pierce said â€œit was both unusual and an honour for a small company like Itree to have such large government customers.

“What we are doing differently to the major multinational IT companies? Firstly we are smaller and I think we are trying harder.
Secondly we have a culture that I think is uniquely Australian. It’s a company where anyone is able to have their voice heard and is able to make an effective contribution.”

Itree believes the University of Wollongong is one of the best centres for IT graduates in Australia and made the decision to move to iC Central when the $34 million facility was first announced back in 2007.

The new address of Itree in Wollongong is: Wing A, Level 1 iC Central, Squires Way, North Wollongong, NSW 2500.
