Bernard W
Really experienced in both design facets, but also technical and manufacturing, so we were able to get the design right first time as well as making sure our cartons were feasible and achievable, and the interface between design and manufacture was a breeze.
Brad Steyn
Quick response. Very reliable. Valuable advice which we passed onto our customer. This is a good service.
What do you love most about your job?
Building a strong relationship with my clients so that I can better understand where my skills can help their business with safe packaging that can reduce their costs while improving efficiency
What inspired you to start your own business?
I developed a unique skill in a field where there was a huge demand for that knowledge at the time, so I offered to use that skill to implement change and train the employees of the business where I was currently employed (Visy Board), as a contractor. When the task was completed nationally, on time and on budget, I decided that this was to be my future work direction.
Why should our clients choose you?
Confidentiality, reliability, diligence, experience.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide my services remotely, in many cases. As an example of this, I am working with a farmer from Darwin NT to determine quality specifications for their packaging that they import. This will provide both the farmer and the supplier with a clear set of packaging specifications that are measurable and accountable.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Living in a regional area of NSW, I am obliged to follow all current restrictions related to Covid-19. I have avoided travelling to my clients and will continue to do so, until restrictions are lifted that allow me to travel to my clients. I am partially vaccinated and observe mask-wearing, social distancing, checking in and other requirements
