What My Client Says
"I have worked alongside Trent for several years, and in that time, I’ve seen firsthand the depth of his expertise, strategic thinking, and ability to drive meaningful outcomes across multiple industries. We first met as members of the Department of Premier and Cabinet’s community forum, and since then, we have collaborated extensively on government contracts, tenders, and a range of high-level business initiatives.
Together, we have developed export strategies for Australian-manufactured products, tackled international e-commerce challenges, and structured business plans that have helped companies scale and secure funding.
We have also worked on lean change management projects, constructability assessments for complex infrastructure, and local government initiatives that required deep industry insight and innovative problem-solving.
Beyond large-scale consulting, we have dedicated time to mentoring startups, helping businesses refine their strategies, and guiding entrepreneurs toward sustainable growth.
His ability to identify opportunities, execute with precision, and provide strategic clarity is unmatched.
Whether it’s government, infrastructure, exports, or business transformation, Trent Miles is someone who not only understands the bigger picture but also knows how to execute at every level.
It’s been a privilege working with him, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration on future projects."

"Working with Trent Miles, first during my time managing the Gateway to Industry Schools Program, and now through Jumpingfish, has proven how powerful contrasting perspectives can be in creating triple bottom line outcomes. Despite our different approaches - his capitalist mindset and my humanitarian focus - we've formed an extraordinarily effective partnership. His brilliant mind for manufacturing and business strategy transformed how schools approach industry engagement. Trent's ability to translate complex industry concepts into practical solutions, while maintaining a sharp focus on measurable outcomes, makes him an invaluable strategic partner in both education and business transformation initiatives."
