“Our business model sets us apart – it provides opportunities for business ownership and gives financial success back to the people on the ground doing the work – the grass roots people.”

TopX Australia was formed in August 2010 when Cyril and Sue Close, Tom and Belinda McLeish and Luke Westaway purchased TopX Pastoral from a group of like minded producers that originally started the marketing business in 1995.

The company’s head office is based in Roma and is overseen by Cyril Close while Tom McLeish is based at Longreach and Luke Westaway at Richmond. TopX Australia affiliates are also based at Cloncurry, Ravenshoe, Quilpie, Cheepie, St George, Taroom and Eidsvold.

The business is fully integrated and streamlined, with all administration, including the processing of livestock and property sales, carried out through the Roma office.

“All TopX branches are independently owned and managed, but have the advantage of being involved in a proven TopX network and support system,” Mr. Close says. “With the implementation of mobile technologies, each affiliate can access their TopX office wherever they are, whether that be in the paddock, or on the road. Emails, faxes and files can be sent straight to an affiliate’s phone and the TopX Website works for them and their clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

“We know, from previous experience, that people come to us because they want to run their own business, but they also want the brand recognition that TopX Australia provides.” This approach to business has certainly helped TopX Australia attract a progressive client base and enabled the company to earn a high profile among some of the giants in the agency game. The company motto “Old Values, New Ways” best reflected the TopX Australia approach to doing business. The old values of the agency business are there, because we put a great deal of emphasis on the client relationship, integrity and ethics” he said.

TopX gives affiliates great access to a complete suite of tools which are easy to use in livestock and property marketing. The flexible package TopX offered allows affiliates to make the progressive steps into owning their own business which is very rewarding.

The TopX Directors are looking forward to further growth in the company with more franchise opportunities for driven, focused and like-minded people wanting to be part of the TopX Network.

TopX Australia can provide interested parties with the opportunity to:

• Own and be responsible for their own business
• Be independent and flexible
• Work under a well-established and recognised brand name
• Have an IT support system behind them
• Create new and innovative ways to market cattle through web-based and mobile technologies
