Produced and executed a Strategic Business Plan to reduce the decline in turnover and operating profit which delivered 25% profitable turnover growth within the first 24 months.Re energised the Speedo brand in Australia and New Zealand after a 3 year period of reduced turnover and market share.In February 2001 Speedo Australia ceased domestic manufacturing, as the cost was too high and this was allowing Speedo’s market to be attached and reduced by local and International brands. This closure attracted a lot of Union activity with negative media for the Speedo Brand in Australia and across the key swimming nations of the World.
