Heart, Hustle & Leadership

The Visionaries Behind Ella Baché Mackay

Frank and Nadine Attard have long been regarded as a powerhouse couple in the Mackay region – an alliance that blends heart, hustle and two distinct professional worlds into one cohesive, high-performing partnership.

Frank’s background lies in engineering as Owner of Key Solutions Group, while Nadine leads with precision and passion in the beauty industry as the driving force behind Ella Baché Mackay.

On paper, the pairing may seem unconventional, but in practice, it’s a seamless fusion of strength, strategy and shared purpose, anchored by a deep commitment to each other and to the community they serve.

“We met in 2017… our conversations were easy and long.”

That effortless connection laid the foundation for a partnership built on respect, humour and aligned ambition.

At the time, Nadine was working at Toyota and Frank at Key Solutions Group. Their career paths looked different, yet both were equally driven, family-focused and grounded in strong values.

You could say it was a match made in heaven.

“Ever since we met, we have enjoyed so many amazing memories together along with our kids, and we are certainly at our happiest when we are together.”

Over the years, their relationship has evolved into a dynamic, well-balanced collaboration.

Nadine has often stepped in as Frank’s farm hand and deckhand, while Frank has become her trusted business advisor and strongest supporter. Each brings a unique strength to the table, creating a partnership defined by mutual respect and never-ending encouragement.

That same balance extends into their family life, where love leads every day.

“Our kids are everything to us… we love them and we are so very proud of them all.”

Despite demanding professional schedules, Frank and Nadine prioritise time together, keeping their downtime simple, joyful and grounded in connection.

They laugh, “We enjoy nothing more than a trip to spend time together, often ending in poker or Uno, as Monopoly is a dangerous game in a house full of competitive-minded people.”

Amid family fun, Nadine’s passion finds its expression in her professional life. As owner of Ella Baché Mackay, she advocates for skin health and has earned the salon a reputation for quality, care, and exceptional results.

The salon offers tailor-made skin prescriptions focused on long-term planning to achieve the best results for hair, face, and body – not just for a wedding day, but for every day.

At Ella Baché Mackay, the team celebrates your skin, your style, and your confidence, taking pride in being part of every client’s story.

“We love the build-up, the ups and downs of the planning, and seeing all the photos and hearing about how amazing their day was,” says Nadine.

The recently opened salon space is a serene, quiet environment supported by highly skilled therapists whose expertise and passion are immediately felt.

Put your trust in specialists who combine a world of knowledge with a genuine desire to help you look – and feel – your very best.

That’s the Attard way: united, driven, and quietly unstoppable!
