Kim is a retired Division 1 Registered Nurse with thirty-plus years' experience in theatre nursing and wound care. She founded Australian First Aid Distributions in 2011 from the conviction that better continence-care products and supplier relationships could be brought to the Australian market. Fifteen years on, the business operates from East Bendigo, supplying premium adult continence-care products under the Comfort First brand to NDIS providers, aged-care facilities, hospitals, and retail customers across Australia.
Kim is the mother of Marcus Hando (Little Puggles co-founder), and the grandmother of Emma and Marcus's son Louis. She is not a co-founder of Little Puggles; the brand is founded by Emma and Marcus under Kim's parent company.
