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.

Multi-award-winning Darren Glass will be joining an award winning team at Complete Home Filtration which recently took out WA Business News’ inaugural RISE ‘Startup of the Year’ and was shortlisted in the top 3 businesses in the state across all categories after less than 3 full years trading.

Complete Home Filtration – along with founder Suzanne Dodds – has been recognised internationally for their expertise and ground-breaking work in water filtration.

“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.
