PINT-SIZED POWERHOUSE
Camping doesn’t have to be the testosterone-scented domain of technically intimidating, super-sized lifestyle machinery and ‘plant it’ 4WD yahooism. South Australian company, Little Guy have been taking the ‘macho’ out of camping for over a decade and paving the way for new demographics, such as single women, couples without children, or downsizers.
In 2006, Graham Hooper started to import American-made Little Guy trailers to Australia. Four years later, wanting to manage quality control more actively, Graham quit importing and started making them himself, steering production in a direction of his own.
A natural innovator, Graham has over 60 years of experience in manufacturing, research and development, agriculture, and export. His early career saw him purchase the Murray Bridge abattoir where he managed the expansion and development of the site, growing the business to over 600 employees. After selling the abattoir, Graham acquired Steriline Racing, where he re-engineered its starting gate and running rail products for sale to racetracks around the world.
Little Guy Australia is another successful manufacturing venture for Graham. Head of a South Australian family
