While Jac McCarty is the known expert in cleaning, her husband Brad Hill is the other half — making sure business runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Across 20 years, Brad moved his way up the ladder in a franchising company before becoming an operations manager at a national level.
Prior to moving to Shepparton seven years ago, he worked in Sydney for more than a decade.
Before Everyday Supplies, Brad said he never truly understood a core element necessary for successful business.
“The biggest thing out of all that history at my previous employment — being corporate, being franchised — the main thing I've really learnt to appreciate and understand is the true value of local,” he said.
“The more you can support local, the more strength you get.”
But now, owning a business, Brad has sunk his teeth into becoming a part of the community.
His role in the company is as varied as it is fast-paced, each day provides something different but his end goal remains the same — staying ahead of the curve.
He described his role as being the business’ forecaster, meaning he handles the business management, looking at units sold, sourcing products when needed, producing customer quotes and when times call for it, jumping in the van to help out with deliveries.
Additionally, Brad focuses on the marketing of Everyday Supplies and bringing the business to its highest potential.
Much of which had been made all the easier with a smooth transition, Brad said.
“In my previous job I’d see businesses transition left, right and centre and as soon as it sells, the other people are done,” he said.
“So we were really lucky that Karen stayed on board to help us out, because you know, it's 25 years, the amount of history there is huge and to have that continuation all the way through is paramount in a business, which is really good.”
