Committee Profiles

Jeni Clift, Proprietor - DWM Solutions

Jeni Clift and her husband, Nick, established DWM Solutions in February 2005. DWM is an IT solutions provider, our main customer base is local government, water authorities and small to medium business throughout regional Victoria, SA and southern NSW. As it is not a "traditional" retail business that deals direct with the public, advertising to the right audience can be difficult. After attending an MBN function, Jeni became involved as a
Committee Member and DWM developed the original MBN website.
As the name suggests, the Murray Business Network has given Jeni the opportunity to promote her business locally and she is now utilising business services of other MBN members.
