Securing $75,000 Growth Funding for True Blue Glass
True Blue Glass, a glazing business, engaged Versed to identify and secure grant funding to support the next phase of its operational growth. With strong foundations already in place, the opportunity centred on enabling strategic investment in advanced manufacturing technology to improve productivity, quality, and capacity - while aligning clearly with Queensland Government priorities around innovation, workforce growth, and economic development.

- Business Positioning
True Blue Glass had a clear vision for growth, but securing government funding required:
- Identifying the right grant opportunity
- Translating operational and technical needs into an assessor-ready business case
- Demonstrating innovation, sustainability, and economic impact
- Presenting future growth plans with clarity and confidence
Versed identified a suitable Queensland Government grant opportunity and led the application process end-to-end. This included:
- Assessing eligibility and strategic fit
- Refining the business narrative to align with funding objectives
- Clearly articulating the operational impact of advanced manufacturing investment
- Preparing compelling supporting collateral
- Shaping a clear, credible submission aligned to assessment criteria
The focus was on positioning True Blue Glass as a growth-ready, innovative manufacturer with tangible economic and workforce benefits.
True Blue Glass was awarded $75,000 from the Queensland Department of Employment, Small Business and Training to support the purchase of a Phantomatic M3 CNC machine, a state-of-the-art system for cutting and shaping aluminium and light metals used in window and door manufacturing.
This technology enables faster, more precise production, automatic tool switching, and significantly reduced waste.
