History
Founded in 2004 by MD John Joannou, Synergy Business Centres started its life as a solution to the growing domestic/commercial cleaning company. As this business matured, John took the step of moving his home-based business to an office in Botany.
As there were no solution to John's office requirements, his cleaning business signed a lease for 400sqm in 1999 – that year John ran at a loss. It made sense to John that he should be out working on his business, rather than being stuck in the office, so he hired a receptionist to help with the daily running of the office and ventured out into the field.
John saw a need for his associates to have office space, and leased part of his 400sqm, the cost also incorporating the receptionist, the mailing duties, the telecommunications and outgoings.
The next year, John’s little 400sqm was remodelled to house 16 individual offices – all leased within 12 months. At this point in time, John’s cleaning company had developed into a toilet paper supply and hygiene company that was very successful; he sold ‘Synergy Washrooms’ in 2004, and focussed his attention on his new business: ‘Synergy Business Centres’.
John’s goal was to provide a solution for small business that were just starting out, that didn’t require a large office space or the cost or commitment of employees.
From modest and unassuming beginnings in 2004, Synergy Business Centres has now expanded to take in 11 properties. Located in Rockdale, Miranda, Broadway, Liverpool, Bankstown, Wollongong, Chatswood, Alexandria, Canberra and with two office centres in Botany, Synergy are planning more as it grows and develops an identity in the industry. This growth is metred by careful planning, taking in all aspects of the business.
