Few people would ever consider starting a high rise ropes business, let alone be able to brave the sheer heights faced daily, but Bryan Matthews was inspired by his own passion for rock climbing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed rock climbing as a hobby and became interested in completing difficult tasks in an unusual environment. The challenge drives my team as well as the variety of work we do,\u201d Bryan says.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company was only founded in 2009, but it offers 15 years of combined experience in a wide range of industries such as height safety and twin-rope access, aerial ropeway maintenance and rescue and high angle rescue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It offers a variety of services such as rigging work, structural inspection and maintenance of ropes and high rise window cleaning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rope Pro team can also abseil from buildings and bridges to access difficult environments.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company cost $5,000 to start and the founders own 50% of the company.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bryan says Rope Pro is distinguished from the rest of the market because they do not rely on costly overheads such as eliminating scaffolding, cranes and elevated work platforms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bryan says the greatest challenge in establishing the business was getting the name out to potential clients.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

From this experience he says he learnt the importance of hard work.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWork hard, do what you say you\u2019re going to do, be honest and set a high standard of professionalism,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He says the name is now recognised throughout the rope access industry \u201cfor professionalism, safety, honesty and reliability\u201d, but it\u2019s the company\u2019s growth rate which is most remarkable.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have doubled our gross income every year since we have started and continue to be growing as a company in general,\u201d Bryan says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
