A Carrum Downs business, Leaf and Leash, has been named as an Australia Post 2023 Local Business Hero. The local small business, run by Bea (and her dog Ollie) is one of 100 small businesses Australia wide to have been selected.

Leaf and Leash specialises in dog accessories with their products designed and produced in Carrum Downs. Their accessories and walkwear feature unique fabric prints, all designed in-house.

Federal Member for Dunkley Peta Murphy MP visited Bea and Ollie recently to see their operations and congratulate them on the award.

The Local Business Heroes’ Award is held annually by Australia Post and comes with a package valued at over $5,000 to improve the business’s existing online stores. Australia Post provides winners with business coaching, marketing, and technology support services.

All small businesses with an online store, and who were existing Australia Post customers were eligible to apply.
