Founder Craig Fallshaw’s knowledge of complementary medicine – its manufacture, formulation, active ingredients, and business processes – is in his blood, after all, he began his career over 30 years ago in the family business, a contract manufacturer that had been founded by his grandfather in 1972.

Craig built upon this manufacturing knowledge and experience with experience in sales and marketing, giving him a unique insight into the complementary medicine industry. In 2010, he founded Complementary Medicines Group (CMG), to provide full service to the complementary medicines, food products, and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals industries.

CMG has the extensive resources, experience, and knowledge base to help you get your product to market – from concept and formulation, right through to branding, marketing, website optimisation, to successful sales.

Craig’s vision for CMG is to be the conduit for innovation, by bringing new concepts and technology to sponsors of complementary medicines in Australia, and to take the hassle out of the management and sourcing of products and services.

Craig has received numerous awards during his career, including national most outstanding salesperson of the year, wholesaler and distributor of the year (3 times), China-Australia International Outstanding Reputation Award, China-Australia International Outstanding Brand award, and a special commendation winner of manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor of the year. This is extremely impressive for a company of 14 years of CMG.

Craig is featured in “50 Unsung Business Heroes” publication. He has the honour of being highlighted on the front cover.
