Client in the media: Eco Distribution

September 11, 2015 by Zac de Silva Leave a Comment

Eco Distribution brands in Fashion Quarterly.

Karen Francis is all about leaving the planet a better place – so much so that she’s set up a distribution business dedicated solely to fashion brands that are eco-friendly and sustainable. What’s more, she’ll only work with brands that walk the walk and who give back to society and the environment in some form. So far Eco Distribution represents watches made of wood, sunglasses made from wood, cotton-based acetate or skateboards and vegan bags. (They don’t eat meat. Kidding! They’re not made from any sort of animal products.)

These past two months, Karen has been working with Business Changing’s Debbie Harrison to run a PR campaign, sharing the word about these eco-friendly brands. And they’ve had a stellar few months of coverage, with We-Wood, Proof eyewear and Matt & Nat bags appearing in Viva, Canvas, Fashion Quarterly, Idealog, Waikato Times, Dominion Post, Christchurch Press, Happyzine and TV2’s The 4.30 Show. But wait – there’s more to come.

Good work, Karen – keep on sharing that eco-friendly vision!

"Zac has given myself and the business a real sense of clarity, and a better sense of day-to-day achievement for myself and the team. Zac’s ability to ask questions that are relative and beneficial have helped me grow the business and my self-awareness and create a more enjoyable workplace. Give Zac an inch and he’ll take you a mile!”
Mathew Phelan, New World Churton Park
"Zac has also become a key enabler and contributor to us working towards the development of both our employee engagement and customer experience roadmaps. Kotahi is a new and fast-paced environment and it has been great to have Zac as a trusted advisor to both myself and the CEO. He has a no-nonsense and solid experience-based approach to his consulting style. I have enjoyed working with Zac and look forward to continuing on our engagement journey with the support of Business Changing”

"Great two-day workshop that gives you a chance to reflect on your business, and focus on key points that need to be addressed to maximize your effectiveness and outcomes. The workshop was both entertaining and informative and really helped us to think about how we might navigate Covid / post-Covid, and plan out our next few years to guide the direction of the business. Food and hospitality was also great. Highly recommended!"
Nelson Raynor, Isle of Eden
"The business planning workshop run by Zac is a great opportunity to challenge existing thinking in your business and take results to the next level. The workshop was well thought out and provided a structured environment to channel ideas and ambitions. Zac has the perfect presenting style allowing for plenty of interaction amongst your team and networking with other business from a variety of backgrounds. Highly recommended"

"Transformational… Revolutionary… Awesome… Take your pick! Our business looks nothing like it did just three months ago – our brand is visible in the market, there’s a buzz about what we are doing, doors are opening and our heads are in the game. Business Changing changes business for the better… I’m very very thankful we met – my only regret is that we didn’t seek you out sooner!"
Nick Brown, Huffman Sauces
"Zac’s business workshop totally exceeded my expectations. The two days are well planned out to ensure your thought process takes you through the various stages needed to question why you are in business, where your business currently is at and where you want your business to be. Provoking questions, explanations, stories, presentations from successful entrepreneurs and of course Zac’s personal attention ensure you walk away with a clear and dynamic business plan. The venue was perfect, the lunch and refreshments sublime."
