Hague Australia – How Time Flies!

They say, “time flies when you’re having fun,” and that certainly rings true for Hague Australia, and indeed, the entire Hague Group.

Just two weeks ago, Mike Wheble, Managing Director of Hague Australia, travelled to the UK to reconnect with colleagues—both old and new—and to celebrate the remarkable history of both Hague Australia and the wider Hague Group. It was a moment to reflect on the legacy, growth, and continued success of the organisation.

Here are a few key milestones worth highlighting:

• Hague Group was founded in June 1980, making it 45 years strong this month!
• It remains privately owned by its founders, Graham and Jane Wain.
• The Group employs over 80 staff across the UK and Australia.
• In the last financial year, Hague Group’s turnover exceeded $100 million.
• Hague Group is made up of five companies, including:
  • Hague Group
  • Hague Australia
  • Hague Direct
  • Hague Print4Safety
  • PSL Print Management
• The Group operates from eight offices across the UK, as well as Hague Australia, based in Melbourne.
• Hague Group Head Office spans an impressive 26,000 square feet (2,450 square metres).

Hague Group’s new purpose-built production and warehouse facility, opened by Hague Group last year, spans an impressive 40,000 square feet (3,700 square metres); a true testament to the Group’s continued growth and investment in the future.

If you look closely, you’ll see Mike!

Having visited the UK offices and Hague Group’s state-of-the-art facilities, Mike was deeply impressed, not only by the scale and sophistication of the operations but also by the unmistakable dedication and passion of the teams across all departments.

From the moment he arrived, it was clear that the Group’s success is driven by a shared commitment to excellence. Whether it was the precision of the production teams, the efficiency of the logistics and warehouse teams, or the innovation coming out of the technology and development areas, every part of the business reflected a deep-rooted pride in the work being done.

Equally striking was the strong sense of culture and collaboration. Despite the company’s size and geographic reach, the atmosphere across the UK offices felt remarkably cohesive and energised. Staff spoke confidently about the company’s direction and their roles in helping shape its future.

Mike’s visit was also a valuable opportunity to strengthen cross-regional ties, exchange ideas, and explore ways to align and scale best practices across the Group, including future collaboration between the UK and Australian operations.

What about Hague Australia?  Well, in just a couple of months, we’ll be proudly celebrating ten years of operations here in Australia.

Hague Australia is headquartered in Dandenong South Melbourne, where our office, print facility, and warehouse span over 64,500 square feet (6,000 square metres).

Having worked at Hague Australia for the past ten years, Mike Wheble reflected on the milestone during his recent visit to the UK offices:

“It is surprising how time flies! With a career spanning IT, customer solutions and management, I can honestly say it’s the enjoyment of what I do each day that makes it feel like I joined Hague yesterday. There’s a real sense of purpose and pride in the work we deliver, and that keeps the energy high and the motivation strong.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some incredibly talented and dedicated people, both here in Australia and across the wider Hague Group. Reaching the ten-year mark is a huge achievement, not just for me, but for Hague Australia as a whole. I’m genuinely looking forward to celebrating this milestone with the team and reflecting on how far we’ve come.

When Hague Australia opened its doors nearly a decade ago, it was with a clear mission: to bring the values, innovation, and customer focus of the Hague Group. Today, that mission continues to thrive through strategic partnerships, an expanding product and services portfolio, and a commitment to excellence in every client interaction.”

The upcoming 10-year celebration offers not just a chance to look back, but to look forward—to new markets, technologies, and opportunities. Hague Australia is poised to build on its strong foundations and contribute even more to the Group’s global success story.

In summary, this visit to the UK was not only about celebrating the past but also looking toward the future, with exciting opportunities, shared knowledge, and the continued collaboration that keeps the Group thriving on both sides of the globe.

Overall, the visit was both inspiring and affirming—a clear reminder that Hague’s ongoing success is built not just on infrastructure and investment, but on the people who bring it all to life every day.

As Hague Australia approaches this significant milestone, it stands as a testament to what can be achieved through vision, collaboration, and a genuine passion for delivering outstanding solutions. The next chapter promises to be just as exciting, and Mike, along with the team, is ready to embrace it.

Added to this, the celebrations in the UK of the Hague Group with this significant milestone of 45 years of trading.  A huge congratulations go to all the team!
