Complete Home Filtration has been on a mission to provide better water for all Australians since 2018, and with a new captain is ready to take on the world.

“Darren’s appointment has come during a time of significant growth for the business,” said founder Suzanne Dodds.

“Darren’s skills as a leader along with his lesser known but highly valuable business acumen built throughout his career, a Bachelor of Commerce, a Masters in Business Administration and a stint with one of the world’s top 3 strategy consulting firms will be an asset to our business,” said founder Suzanne Dodds.

Suzanne featured on a recent episode of the Startup West podcast.

Darren and Suzanne both met on the MBA program at UWA, with Darren now taking up his role of General Manager on February 15th. He will be leading and building the team to continue Complete Home Filtration’s growth.

Having just completed a $2.4 million ‘Series A’ capital raise with RAC WA’s venture capital arm Better Labs Ventures and well known venture capitalist Andrew Sypkes, Complete Home Filtration will build on its existing customer bases in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, and is poised to continue to expand into more states in Australia.
