Alison Shaw

Co-Owner, Tambo Teddies

Alison Shaw is the Co-Owner of Tambo Teddies. Her career journey has a fascinating amount of twists and turns. She is worked on a goat dairy, as a wool classer and Jillaroo, a small business entrepreneur and as an Arts and Cultural Officer with Regional Council.

Having dropped out of University as a young woman to travel around Australia, left her native New Zealand, she resumed tertiary studies as a mature age student and in 2016 completed a Bachelor of Business specialising in marketing. During this period, she purchased Tambo Teddies with a business partner.  With fresh ideas and thirst for a challenge, the pair have managed to grow the iconic Tambo Teddies business and raise the profile of Tambo. 

After receiving a steady stream of requests for grant writing, Alison figured it was time for another challenge. In 2019 she created a new business The Right Grant, drawing on her ability, life experience and knowledge of the funding space. She enjoys matching projects to the right fund and helping businesses and organisations grow.
