Luke Terry

Luke established White Box Enterprises in 2019 to systematically address the constraints that he routinely confronted when launching enterprises: access to affordable space, access to capital, and to partnerships that would help bring social enterprise into the mainstream fabric of employment in Australia. With more than 15 years’ experience in the social enterprise and not-for-profit sectors, Luke has founded several large-scale employment-focused social enterprise projects that have created meaningful work pathways for people facing barriers to employment (eg Vanguard Laundry Services, Ability Enterprises Work Restart).  Since 2019, White Box Enterprises has helped to create more than 394 jobs for vulnerable people, attracted over $11.9M in capital, supported 22 social enterprises, and has the backing of 23 corporate and philanthropic organisations.
