Congratulations to Ali from Agoo!
Why Agoo?
By accident I came across the Canadian brand Agoo and thought how innovative and why don’t we have active wear for children that is UPF rated?
At the time I was on an enforced career break due to serious illness and whilst I was being treated I kept thinking about Agoo and our need for it in Australia. Skin cancer is something very close to my heart after nearly losing my then 19 year old brother melanoma and another heart stopping scare only a few weeks ago. Fortunately he survived but I have always been super mindful that this hideous disease can attack anyone at anytime.
Long story short I decided to become the distributor for Agoo and have been establishing the Agoo brand over the last year. I love the concept of the clothing range and the fact that the accessory range is Bamboo.
Prior to Agoo I had a successful corporate career but always felt it was soulless so I established a ‘Not for Profit’ business called Allsorts by Ali making handmade chocolate truffles and donating the profits to families in need. One year we made 13,000 truffles at Christmas..........crazy time but it was so rewarding.
I am fortunate to have some wonderful and supportive people in my life including 4 special men (my husband Matt, sons Cooper & Campbell and my brother Chris) and great friends including Susan whom I seem to drag into whatever venture I am doing including Agoo and Allsorts by Ali.
Where to now?
I see Agoo as a means to an end. I want to make this venture profitable and give to charities/foundations associated with skin cancer and reducing childhood obesity. I want to align myself with businesses and staff who share similar ethics and hope to continue to employ staff who need an employer to be flexible.
Once I have achieved that I would hope that Agoo can be self sufficient so I can then move onto my dream of establishing the foundation to help break the rent cycle for families in need and help them own their own home..............watch this space even if it takes a few years.
In the meantime I will continue to do as many Random Acts of Kindness as possible, it is unbelievable the joy that this gives and is only made possible by the fabulous people I have in my life that help me believe that anything I can dream I can make happen.
I can now add that I also have a fabulous network of incredibly skilled, talented, helpful and supportive Skouters. I never imagined taking this career change would provide me with so many wonderful friendships.
Does life get any better than this?
