Justin introduced RWS certification to Western Australia. HMI now manages it end to end for WA growers — independent, with no brokerage interest. Whether it pays on your clip depends on your type and your buyers, and that assessment comes first.

05 · Where independent advice counts

One clip sold at the wrong time can cost more than a decade of advice.

One clip sold at the right time, again and again, can transform an operation.

A year on any HMI program costs less than most growers already pay in selling charges over a season. It is also the only fee in the chain that does not move with the sale.

More questions

Do you sell my wool?

If you want HMI to. HMI can manage your sale — appraisal, reserves and timing — with warehousing, testing and payment through a trusted broking partner, at standard costs and no extra HMI sale fee. Or keep your existing broker; the advice works either way.

How is the advice independent?

There is no commission and no fee on the outcome of a sale. One flat annual fee, paid up front, is the whole arrangement.

Which program should I start on?

Most growers start on Clip Advisory. If you want a call on every lot and certification managed, that is the Wool Program.

Start with your last clip.

I’ll go through last season’s clip results with you properly. No charge for that conversation. From there you can decide whether HMI is a fit for you.
