Tradex Ltd.

• Computers and Electronics Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Managing Director

  • Nov 1995 - Dec 2000

  At the time I undertook the Managing Director role, Tradex was a 30-year old, privately-owned, importer and retailer of domestic white goods and professional kitchen equipment in distress. Focusing on tight cash flow management, realignment of imports and inventory planning to match market demand, overhaul of its brand and marketing, we managed to triple the turnover and turn it from loss making to break-even. In turn, and before I exit the sector, I led the merger of Tradex with one of its competitors to create a stronger market player.
