The opportunity
A well-known premium marine fabric brand is growing its Australian presence after a period without dedicated sales representation. Accounts are warm but largely untouched — meaning there's genuine low-hanging fruit alongside a real relationship-building mission. If you enjoy owning your patch and building something from scratch, this is a strong platform.
About the company
An internationally recognised brand in marine textiles, distributed across Australia through two established trade distributors. The product is stocked and known — what's been missing is a dedicated person on the ground nurturing the trade.
