Ray Scicluna
The son of a boiler maker, Ray grew up in the rough and tumble world of Melbourne’s Western Suburbs (a world apart from the world most of us know). He left school at the age of 13, not being able to read or write.
At the age of 21, Ray moved into the entertainment industry and revolutionised the video industry over the next 6 years. By 27 he had turned over more than 90 million dollars.
Ray was declared bankrupt when he was 29, and lost everything. He has had more than his share of challenges yet he never lost sight of his dreams. He then moved on, purchasing the franchise “Video Ezy” for 5 states in Australia and NZ.
Since then, Ray has diversified into many businesses. Being self employed for 32 years he has set up sixty different retail outlets, has owned and operated three major franchises – two in Australia and one in New Zealand.
He built a wholesale distribution company that become the largest in Australia, dealing with companies such as Roadshow home video, Warner home video, Sony and Paramount pictures.
The businesses he manages and part owns today range from manufacturing innovations to event management and exports many innovations and products to Canada, US, UK, NZ as well as imports from China. He has employed over 450 people at one time or another.
In the past 18 years his company has managed events in NZ, Bali, Fiji and all around Australia and has also trained more than 4,000 people in retail, customer service and managing and building a better business.
