Megawood joins the
Larson Juhl International Group
Jared's full time
Australian employer, Megawood Mouldings, has just announced
that they are becoming part of the international Larson-Juhl
group of companies. Larson Juhl, a Berkshire Hathaway
company, are the recognised global leaders of the Picture
Framing Industry, and are excited to work with both Megawood
and Jared, in future industry support. Jared is looking
forward
to be
able to work with a world class organization and market
leader like Larson-Juhl, especially when their ethics and
passion for the future of our industry align so closely with
his.
Jared
says, "Having travelled to the US extensively in the past 5
years, I have witnessed firsthand Larson-Juhl’s dedication
and commitment to the evolving framing industry over there,
and also the overwhelming positive feedback from their local
framing community for their market leading products &
support. I am excited to be able to finally tap into these
resources, ideas and point-of-sale concepts which can be
used to help improve our overall custom framing industry
here in Australia too."

International, with Jared.
Fantastic Testimonial from
Artery Framers in Hobart, Tasmania
"Just wanted to put on the record my
sincere appreciation for the training day you conducted for
the Artery framing staff recently.
They were abuzz for several days
afterwards and I believe you have given them sales &
marketing ideas and techniques which will last them a
lifetime.
I first was exposed to the “Jared Magic”
at the Sydney Framing Exhibition in 2007 and your enthusiasm
and zest have always resonated with me. Why wouldn’t I pay
for your services to be delivered to my staff, it’s money in
the bank.
Young Mathew, who was in training as a
framer for all of 4 months when you delivered your training
course, was cock a hoop when he made a sale of $6,000 for
seven antiquarian maps two weeks later. The net result - a
staff member who was so enthused we had to hose him down,
other staff members who revelled in his success and a great
bottom line!
I hate the cliché but it was a win win
win win – staff member totally hyped, a team happy for his
success, an employer loving the bottom line and happy staff,
and Jared's reputation in our industry continuing to soar.
Once again many thanks."
Roy Leeman, Director
Artery Framers - Hobart Tasmania
