What our clients say

Established in 2020 by parents Sel and Jen Berdie, their products are free from common allergens such as dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, fish and peanuts, and sold in more than 2000 retail locations throughout Australia. Sel said TIQ’s Go Global Program funding and support was critical to their push overseas.

Entering a new international market with our world-first infant formula was an exciting yet strategic challenge,” he said.

“We were aware of the successful track record TIQ has in assisting Queensland businesses with their export ambitions and believed that leveraging their extensive global network would benefit not just our venture into Indonesia, but our broader international expansion plans. “Partnering with TIQ has enhanced our ability to confidently and strategically explore new markets, setting the stage for sustained international growth.”
