Isaac Peel is a young small-business owner here in Canberra. He runs a service called Isaac Delivers, which delivers light items to businesses around Canberra, including Fyshwick Toyota, the Erindale Centre, Canberra Imaging Group and the Wanniassa National Health Co-op. The business began delivering magazines to waiting rooms around Canberra and since then it has expanded into magazines, milk and mail. By all accounts, Isaac is great at it too because it is a business that fits him perfectly. He loves the movement, the scenery and the music that plays on the radio while he is riding in the car. He greets people with a handshake and a smile and he is excellent at remembering locations and routines.

Isaac is making a major contribution to the Canberra community but, as any small-business owner will tell you, you cannot do it on your own. Isaac Delivers is the brainchild of Isaac's band of brothers and sisters, a microboard that was formed by his family and friends to help him achieve his goals in life. I expect Isaac and his team will have an even more successful 2017 and, even though it is a big call, I am sure Isaac will deliver.
