From Wallaby to Winning in Business with Troy Jaques

Former Wallaby Troy Jaques has made quite a shift from professional rugby to running a successful security and cleaning company in North Queensland. His business now employs 320 people in Cairns and Townsville, with Jaques putting a strong focus on community involvement.

His business approach is straightforward: “If you’re making money in the community, you should give back.” Jaques’ journey shows how hard work, adaptability, and building strong teams can lead to success – skills he developed both on the rugby field and in his business ventures.

The ex-rugby player’s story demonstrates how to reinvent yourself after a sports career. Jaques has applied the lessons he learned as an athlete to the business world, creating a successful enterprise that benefits his local area.
