About This Award
Lock Jaw Ladder Grip was recognised as a finalist in two powerful categories at the Premier of Queensland's Export Awards: Small Business and Women in International Business. These recognitions celebrate the extraordinary achievement of a small, women-led Queensland company that has taken a genuinely life-saving product to the world — competing on the global stage against much larger organisations.
Why Lock Jaw Was Recognised
Founded and led by a woman from Brisbane, Lock Jaw Ladder Grip has grown from a local invention to a globally patented safety brand. The company's story — a small business driven by a mission to prevent ladder deaths and injuries worldwide — made it a compelling finalist in both the Small Business and Women in International Business categories.
