Wow, we are blessed to live & work together in a beautiful space, a beautiful place & with incredibly powerful brands. I learnt many, many years ago that leadership is not about titles, positions, or flow charts: it’s about one life influencing another. People are the most important investment behind the success of any company or brand. Primarily that culture focus was the draw for me joining the margifox team, that & the wonderful holistic story of FEED FORTIFY FINISH – we really are “Serious about skincare”.

OUR PASSION FOR WHAT WE DO TRANSFERS INTO OUR SERVICES.The company known today as Stanton & Treby Sales commenced business in 1994 and has been trading for over 21 years.

The company was formed to fulfill a niche in the market as the trend of corporate organisations seeking to reduce overheads and employee costs and outsource their field sales operations escalated. The key to the company’s success has been a commitment to professional sales services to produce profitable sales growth for its clients.
