Taking Responsibility for ourselves, our family and our society

Peter Fenwick started Fenwick Software in Geelong in 1976, interviewing his first employee in his garage.  He had a vision for how he wanted the company to operate and largely stuck with this for his 35 years as sole owner and Managing Director.

Peter believes in subsidiarity – the principle of devolving decision making to the lowest practical level.  This means that employees are trusted to manage their own time and make their own decisions (always with the option of seeking advice).  This principle allows staff to grow and feel empowered, rather than never daring to try anything.
