WHEN six weeks of help turns into 25 years of smiling services, you must be doing something right. It’s not an everyday occurrence but it is what happened to Jeanette Sabri a quarter of a century ago when she took on a couple of days work to help a friend.
Everyday Supplies (ES) wouldn’t be the same without mother of three and grandmother of six, Jeanette who has seen it all over the years.
“25 years ago I came to work for Karen to help her out one day a week for six weeks, and I’m still here,” said Jeanette.
“I’d never done sales before; I was always in administration. I was working for a waste management company doing accounting and administration and I got two days a week at Everyday Supplies and I thought oh my god I don’t know all these products. But I was supposed to sell as well as do bookkeeping side of things. I had to learn when to advise this and that, so over the years it just evolved.”
Evolved is the key word when thinking about Jeanette’s time at ES. Originally owned by Karen Bigg and Ken McCarty, ES has expanded and grown from its humble beginnings to one of the Goulburn Valley’s most trusted cleaning and office suppliers, bringing their goods to your door free of charge no matter how far away, with current owners Jac McCarty and Brad Hill.
“It’s a great environment. I like seeing the younger ones with their fresh ideas, it’s picked up with what they’ve introduced into the business … I’m happy doing my three days and just cruising along.
You can visit Jeanette at Everyday Supplies at 28-36 New Dookie Road, Shepparton. Check out their website www.everydaysupplies.com.au or give them a direct call on (03) 5831 7228.
