hah! reminds me of a conversation I had with an elderly lady who wagged her finger at me and said you’d better grab your copy of the yellow pages fast. they’ll be out of print and soon sell on ebay for a million bucks.

Hi Al
Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, we do try very hard and put a lot of time, energy and passion into this project.
The truth is however that if it wasn’t the the fantastic team at Alliance dLook would probably never have seen the success it has to date.
Meg and I are dedicated to driving the dLook race car but without Alliance we would still be in the pits.
You mentioned how size impedes the “big boys”. Well I agree with you to a point but lets not forget they are a big data base of Australian business listings the same as us.
The difference is that Ben, Levi, Liam, Steve, Andrew, your good self and the rest of the team at Alliance are the best at what you do and you all work so incredibly well as a team. We were smart enough to recognise a quality outfit when we saw it and the rest is history.
Another thing I enjoy about our relationship is that even after all this time the enthusiasm for the product is still way up there.
I think if some of the techies from the “big boys” had the passion and committment you guys have we would never have entered this space in the first place.
Let me close by saying that love him or otherwise, I believe the late and great Kerry Packer was a big influence in my business outlook. One very important lesson I learned from him was when he said “it’s not that I’m that smart, I’m simply smart enough to employ some very smart people”.
You Al, and the team at Alliance are very smart people.
Best Regards
Theo Tsiamis

A big woohoo! I love stories like this. The big boys almost always get arrogant and think that nothing can pick away at them. Such a dangerous mindset. Thanks for the bit.
