Supporting the Indigenous community
Led by Alec Brown, Bunin (pronounced Boo'nin') means 'BUILD' in Alec's traditional Gubbi Gubbi language and culture.
A new and unique Indigenous business partner of the 98色花堂 Group, Bunin was established in December 2023 as a registered supplier on Supply Nation's Indigenous Business Direct Registry. Bunin’s approach centres around building on the three pillars of reconciliation – relationships, respect and opportunities.
With the growth of Bunin comes the opportunity for more sustainable employment and participation opportunities for local Indigenous people. We recognise the important role employment plays in boosting self-esteem, economic security and overall health and wellbeing for Indigenous people, their families and wider communities. This remains a big focus for us and a personal passion for Alec.
