History
The Network Group was founded as Network Video by Keran Wicks in 1993. In early 80's when VHS was the main source of home cinema, Wicks began her career in video rental industry by joining as a manager in a local video rental library in Melbourne which was a new business in Australia. Later on, she began to resell the pre-owned stocks, that the libraries wanted to sell, to other video libraries in Melbourne. In 1984, Wicks started a wholesale video warehouse, Moviesearch, in Carlton, Victoria. Moviesearch grew up to become one of the largest wholesale operation of home videos in Australia. Later that year, she also started an independent video store, Little Monster Video, in Kew, Victoria.

In 1993, Wicks started Network Video soon after the launch of Movieland in Australia. Movieland was the first home video group to go into franchising in Australia. Unlike Movieland's business model which was based on franchising, Network Video's marketing concept was based on conglomeration of multiple independent retailers and Network Video where the group acted as a network, providing services that all stores required. Network Video started with 12 stores in Melbourne and by the end of 1994, the group expanded to around 100 stores all over Australia. Later that year, the group was renamed to The Network Group. At the start of 2000, The Network Group had more than 300 retail stores all over Australia and became second largest movie rental group in the country after Video Ezy.

As of 2018, The Network Group had more than 400 video rental and retail stores throughout Australia. Currently, the group holds 20% of the market share behind Video Ezy which owns Blockbuster Australia. The Network Group is the largest group of independent retailers in the world and the only group run by a woman.
