Company/Role: Health Protect International

As one the youngest members of our top 30, Nicson White has not found age a barrier but just a source of determination. After working a plethora of standard teenage jobs, White decided he’d had enough. With little more than knowledge gained through reading in his spare time, White was given the opportunity to work for a marketing firm. A few years later, he’d had enough of “working for the man” and founded Health Protect Internationals (HPI).

HPI specialises in mattress sanitisation throughout Australia and New Zealand, focusing on the importance of health and hygiene in the tourism industry, particularly hotels. Nicson has already won a number of awards, including the 2007 My Business GIO Award for Best Small Business. It may not be small for long.
