Ross Gobby
Operational Support
Since founding Vara Allied in 2004, and importing independently for his own successful retail business prior to this, Ross could see how his contacts and experience would be valuable to other companies. Never satisfied with the status quo, Ross constantly strived to minimise costs and improve systems, knowing through his years of experience that it is only with constant evolution and growth that businesses remain competitive and profitable.
Kerry Evans
Accounts / Sales
With an accounting degree and over 15 years experience working with Vara Allied, Kerry has the practical knowledge to streamline the administration of importing.
History
Vara Allied has been importing products from Asia since 2004. The idea began when Ross Gobby, then a director of a successful retail business in Perth, decided to import from China to reduce costs and increase his own profit margins in the late 1990's. After several years of working through the many varied and costly issues, Ross initially took this concept to other companies in Western Australia, and subsequently businesses throughout Australia, to import a diverse range of products.
Craig Tyrrell joined the company in 2015, and is now director of the company bringing engineering and design experience and a fresh perspective to product sourcing and importing. Vara Allied's clientele is growing throughout Australia and Worldwide, with China being the predominant but not sole supplier of goods.
