Our Mission

To help businesses increase the focus on their people and their people operations by offering a variety of services to support a productive, positive and forward thinking workforce.

Our Vision

To support individuals and businesses to perform at their best. 

To influence positive and strong engagement between people.

We firmly believe that without the right people in your business – you don’t have a viable business.. It’s that simple. 

This is especially evident in the SME space when it’s unviable to employ specific resources for all key functions within the business; requiring people to work in broad roles, wearing multiple hats.  

Now, even when you feel like you have it all together, things can change. Employees change, market sectors change, clients change and sometimes company cultures change… Now what do you do?!?!?!  

The challenge can be having the right network to leverage from. TPN was established in 2017 to support  businesses and individuals with overcoming these ‘People Operations’ challenges. 
 
With diverse and flexible service offerings, we support people & businesses to perform at their best with efficient systems & processes and a ‘people focused’ approach.
 
We look forward to adding you to our network.

With more decades in the sector than he would care to admit to, Garry has been an industry leader and specialist in Work, Health & Safety and driven many teams, processes, initiatives, projects and programs; all focused in the construction space and with an unwavering approach to quality, compliance and learning.

He has held numerous senior safety roles up to Executive Head of Safety across main contractors and Developer/Builders and then in 2019 decided to shift his focus from delivering on construction safety performance to delivering construction safety professionals to his network via his business OneStart.

Garry’s passion and commitment to safety became further evident when he started Scratchie; a construction safety rewards incentive platform. For years, Garry ran both business concurrently and as Scracthie continued to grow and with no sign of his loyal construction network slowing down with their safety resource requirements, Garry amalgamated OneStart into TPN to facilitate an enhanced and scalable capacity to deliver on expert technical safety solutions via talent acquisition and delivering safety advisory, training and audits.

Meghan Hinchey

Working in the corporate world for several years, Meghan is all too familiar with the demands and stresses of pressing deadlines. It was during this career when Meghan’s passion for health and fitness really started to unravel. Alarmed by how misled and misinformed many people were about their health, she decided to pursue a career in Holistic Lifestyle Coaching.

Getting people out of their office chairs and into the fresh air is one of Meghan’s main drivers and this, combined with her enthusiasm and practical philosophies based around the six foundations of health positions Meghan well to share key information and strategies to encourage others along a positive path promoting how to eat, move and be healthy.

Since becoming a Mother, empowering women to nourish themselves and create better health for themselves and their family have become close to Meghan’s heart. All of her methods revolve around healthy body image and sustainable, long-term health which strengthen her specialties for pre and postnatal conditioning, female strength training and school fitness programs for teen girls.

Meghan runs individual, group and corporate training programs in person and supports people through nutrition, movement and wellness programs online.
