Bio
Shane Burke
Tom is passionate about all his activities. My dealings with him were as a supplier of garment manufacturing inputs to his company. He established a vertical integration process which was efficient while maintaining the exclusivity required by his discerning customers. I was particularly impressed by his mastery of the financial control of the business which meant (for example) that his account was always paid in a timely fashion.
