Founded in 2017, Leadership Through Data (LTD) is a UK-based specialist firm in information management, data governance, and privacy. The company provides training, consultancy services, and online resources to help public and private organisations navigate complex data challenges and implement robust governance frameworks.
Their comprehensive range of courses covers information governance, Microsoft 365, data privacy and protection, and leadership skills, records management, and more, all designed to empower professionals to manage information responsibly and effectively. LTD also runs the EMPOWER Programme which is a 12-month professional development initiative for leaders focusing on engagement, management, process, oversight, workforce, excellence, and resources.
Operating globally, LTD has offices in the UK, the USA, and Australia, with an in-house team of eight in the UK and partnerships with over 40 professionals worldwide.
Objective
LTD initially sought to expand its footprint into the Australian market to meet the growing demand for Microsoft 365 training. At the time, no other provider was offering these courses locally, and there was already strong interest from Australian professionals eager to participate.
As their presence developed, LTD aimed to build brand recognition and establish itself as an authority on key topics such as privacy and data laws in Australia, helping organisations remain compliant and informed in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
There continues to be a good interest in their offerings from Australian organisations, particularly within the public sector, seeking trusted local expertise in data management and privacy compliance. Building on this momentum, LTD remains committed to expanding its reach in Australia through conferences, partnerships, and tailored course offerings.
Services Provided
The company engaged ABN Australia to support their entry into the Australian market. ABN Australia provided a comprehensive suite of company formation and compliance services, including:
Company incorporation and registration
ABN and GST registration
Resident director services
ASIC compliance support
Tax and accounting compliance support
Results
With ABN Australia’s support, LTD successfully established a fully compliant Australian entity, giving them the foundation to operate locally and deliver their training programmes with confidence. Having a reliable structure in place allowed them to focus on building brand awareness and strengthening connections with Australian organisations, particularly within the public sector.
Through ABN Australia’s end-to-end assistance, from company formation and compliance to governance and tax support, the process of entering a new market became significantly more straightforward. This smooth establishment has since enabled LTD to pursue growth opportunities across Australia, while also setting a strong precedent for their planned expansions into New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and other countries.
Feedback
For LTD, expanding into new markets has always been about building trusted relationships that make complex processes feel simple. Their experience with ABN Australia reflected exactly that. From the very beginning, the team felt confident that their business was in good hands.
LTD expressed appreciation for the approachable and professional support provided by Aaron Garry, Managing Director of ABN Australia. They said that his guidance helped make the process of establishing their Australian entity straightforward and stress-free. Additionally, they recognised that our firm’s one-stop service model provided reassurance that compliance, tax, and governance requirements were well managed, allowing them to focus on growing their business.
The partnership has given LTD a strong sense of trust and established a clear benchmark for what effective international support should look like: dependable, efficient, and grounded in genuine care for the client’s success.
