Summary

In dealing with Private & Public Schools to negotiate the purchasing of garments presents new challenges on a day to day basis. I had the pleasure of dealing with a large number of Schools and a number of them for twenty years in a row.

Corporate clients were always great to deal with it opened up doors to personal friendships and the development of long standing accounts.

I was proud to sell my business as a successful operation that has a large customer base..

  • Managed budgets effectively to ensure optimal use of resources while maintaining financial stability.
  • Interacted well with customers to build connections and nurture relationships. Our main customers were Schools for Year 6 & Year 12 Commemorative tops as well as supplying to Corporate Customers. We had five embroidery machines that were operated by two employees.
  • We purchased raw materials to produce garments made by our contract pattern makers. For corporate clients we purchased items from the importers and added decoration by way or embroidery and any printing was done by our contract printers.
  • Initially worked with the MYOB accounting package. For the last 6 years I used the XERO accounting system, to look after accounts receivable & accounts payable, Quarterly Bass statements; Payroll PAYG and Superannuation. We had three employees so the Payroll used with XERO was very straight forward.
