Messages On Hold Australia (MOH) is an award-winning company headquartered in Perth, WA. It specializes in the scripting and recording of promotional audio productions for organizations to play to waiting callers.

In 1988, Managing Director, Kym Illman, started the business from his home office after being fired from a local television station. Since then, the company has enhanced the phone image of more than 9,000 organisations across 15 countries with informative and entertaining On Hold messages. By providing cutting edge On Hold equipment and creative audio programming, this young, fun and energetic company has enjoyed rapid and sustained growth - so much so in fact that MOH was able to expand internationally in 2002.

Early on in Messages On Hold's business plan, it was decided to create a company that made full use of the industry's latest IT developments. With it, the company has developed complex, proven systems running at all levels of the operation, resulting in an efficient and customer-focused operation that's second-to-none.

Doubling in size over recent years, this innovative organisation now employs over 100 staff, and has returned a profit in every year of operation. In 2005/2006, it looks set to turn over more than $10 million and is the market leader in Australasia and the Asia Pacific. In fact, it is now in the top 5 biggest On Hold companies on Earth - not bad for a small Perth-based enterprise!
