Revenues from the Sydney office of Melbourne-based Mills Oakley will soon match Melbourne revenues, CEO John Nerurker has predicted.

“Sydney workflow is on course to equal that of our Melbourne office within the next few years,” said Nerurker. “As a consequence, the size of our Sydney team has increased by 30 percent over the last 12 months.”

Nerurker’s comments came as Mills Oakley formally opened its new premises in Brisbane in the King George Central building. Attendees included Brisbane Lord Mayor, Graham Quirk and former Olympic swimming champion, Duncan Armstrong.

The firm has increased its staff numbers in Brisbane by 50 percent this year, prompting the office move. “Our pipeline of work in Queensland has been expanding to the extent that we required larger premises to accommodate more staff and client meetings. I am keen for us to build on this progress again in 2014,” said Nerurker. “King George Central was developed by one of our clients, Leighton Properties, so there are excellent synergies for us in this move.”

Mills Oakley has had several years of consecutive double digit revenue growth, recording 20 percent growth in FY2013.  The Fast 10 feature in the December issue of ALB will rate the firm against other fast growing firms and analyse the Mills Oakley growth strategy.
