CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Started the climb in 2007 over a pair of cufflinks that cost too much. Still leads the route.
EST. 2007 · BROOKVALE NSW · SHIPPING WORLDWIDE
We design, stock and personalise the good stuff — 3,000+ cufflink designs, watch storage, premium bamboo socks — and ship it from Sydney's Northern Beaches to the world. Climbing since 2007.
WHAT WE DO
The Cre8ive Group builds and runs specialist online stores for men's accessories. Each brand stands on its own — its own name, own personality, own customers — backed by the same climbing team, the same Brookvale warehouse, and the same stubborn belief that quality shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. And a third climber joins the rope soon.

BRAND 03 — ON BELAY

Nineteen years of steady climbing, in six stats.
THE STORY — SHORT VERSION
In 2007 a simple pair cost Ben's now-wife over $100 at a Sydney department store. That felt wrong. The rest is nineteen years of fixing it.
One overpriced pair too many. Ben and Priscilla decide Australia deserves better — and start building it.
The online store launches from a small Sydney unit with exactly twenty styles. No looking back.
The group buys Benjamin Cufflinks — one of Australia's best-known cufflink stores — and keeps climbing.
New name, new mark, same climbing team — now serving customers worldwide.
3,000+ designs and 30,000+ five-star reviews later, everything ships from the Northern Beaches.
