October is Small Business Month! And to celebrate, we’re highlighting some of the great small businesses we have throughout the region.

Today we have a local clothing company, an independent hardware store, and a furniture and homewares store.

Wild Mob Australia 🖥️

Wild Mob Australia is a clothing brand and small Ecommerce business located here in Armidale specialising in Hoodies, Tshirts, Track Pants, Footy Shorts, Custom Workwear and Personalised gifts.

Wild Mob is owned and operated by Tracey Smolders and Mark Wicks, a couple of locals creating clothing for Aussies that love to do Aussie things, like hunting, camping, fishing, 4WDriving and the rest.

“At Wild Mob Australia, we don’t just make clothing, we craft experiences,” Tracey said.

“Our collection is designed with the spirit of adventure in mind, ensuring each piece is both stylish and functional. From rugged outdoor gear to casual wear, our clothes are made from premium materials that stand up to the wildest conditions.

Wild Mob says their garments are durable, built to withstand the toughest environments, as well as comfortable, designed for all-day wear, whether you’re in the bush or in the city.

“Our brand is about doing the things you love with the people that you love to hang out with and make memories with, and sometimes things with those people get a bit Wild!


Inverell H Hardware 🖥️

Inverell H Hardware is a locally owned and operated business providing quality hardware products and services to the community for over 20 years!

We have a wide range of products in-store and available to special order and staff with decades of experience in the building and hardware industries.

We operate our own delivery trucks and provide delivery service to an extensive area of the Inverell and surrounding districts.

Established in late 2002 by the previous owners, local builder Simon Green acquired the business in 2021.

Simon has grown up in the building industry and brings more than 30 years of building experience and expertise to the business.

Simon is backed by his friendly and knowledgeable team.

Being locally owned and operated, we are part of the community and support a wide range of local teams, fundraisers and events.


Furnished in Glen 🖥️

In the heart of Glen Innes, Furnished in Glen is a locally owned and operated furniture and bedding store.

With a passionate team to make your house a home, Furnished In Glen is the shopping destination for furniture, manchester, bedding and accessories.

Furnished In Glen is locally owned and operated by Liarne Williams and Ben Thorpe, who offer friendly personalised customer service and advice.

“October is our birthday month which sees our store trading for 9 years, and to celebrate 9 years of trade there is a store wide sale with great savings for customers to enjoy.” Liarne said.

Furnished In Glen recently teamed with Homemakers, Australia’s largest furniture and bedding buying group, enabling this trusted local business to bring a larger range and greater value to their customers.
