Verity Hare

Verity Hare is founder and director of TradieWives, an Australian community for the wives and partners of tradespeople that has grown from a small Facebook group into a network of more than 45,000 members. She started the group after joining her husband's structural landscaping business and finding little trade-specific support available. TradieWives now runs a Business Academy in partnership with Westpac, a directory of vetted service providers and an annual conference. Hare argues many partners take an equal role in running trade businesses, not just bookkeeping. She appeared on Mumbition's founder panel on branding, balance and bold moves.
