For twenty years, Co-Founders Joshua and Alana Nicholls have been building a growing purpose driven business in Australia. As a start up business at the age of 22 and 19 they’ve now built a country wide brand that has given over $1million towards overcoming poverty. The impact their business has witnessed, has been achieved through simple and affective initiatives. Over the years they’ve learnt a lot, done all the hard work, set up a not for profit organisation and now want to share it with you.
As a not for profit, this is not a money making exercise. It’s simply a passion to see businesses find purpose and also combine forces with other like-minded businesses to make a difference together.
In 2012 as Josh and Alana began franchising their business, they wanted to commit to sponsoring more children as their company grew. The bigger they got, the more impact they wanted to have. ‘One Van One Child’ was birthed, a simple idea of sponsoring a child for every van in the business. It was a scalable model that saw impact increase proportionally to business growth. It was a hit and within 8 years their child sponsorship grew from 0 to over 200 children.
In 2016 after visiting some of their sponsor children in Zambia, the Nicholls and 3 founding board members John, Jeff and Ken were inspired to do more. They returned to Australia and began the huge task of setting up a non for profit foundation to start financing projects and have greater impact. Since then amazing projects have been completed through the foundation in Zambia, Sri Lanka and Uganda.

Joshua has a strong conviction that business is not your WHY, it’s the tool to achieve your why. And for him, his WHY is to give back and help others in need. With a passion to not grow wealth for personal gain, but rather give it away, starting a Foundation to do just that has been one of Josh’s career highlights. Josh is the Founder and CEO of Platinum Electricians and Co Founder of JetBlack Plumbers. Both profit making businesses are dedicated to having impact and making a difference. With a passion for a healthy work/life balance, if he’s not in the office, you’ll find him outdoors cycling, surfing or running sport and dance errands with his 3 children.
