The Story

In 2007, Jason Wyatt was chartered accountant working in London and his best friend Sam Salter, a childhood mate, was selling classified ads for some of Australia’s biggest magazines.

Salter was from a cycling family, so when the two caught up in Melbourne, inevitably their conversation turned into an idea to create a marketplace for bikes, BikeExchange.

In just a few years, BikeExchange evolved into a significant international success story with millions of buyers and sellers transacting across the platform every year.
