Ron Disney started his own business in 1969 at 51 years of age. He commenced working in a small office in North Melbourne in a confined space. Ron acted as a representative, store man, packer and dispatcher of each order. Due to the growth and expansion of the company, Ron moved his business into a warehouse in Clifton Hill, then to Fitzroy and then to Brunswick where it still stands today. Ron recruited staff from the local high school in order to give students the opportunity to understand the workings of a small business and develop skills in all areas. As a long serving member of the hardware industry, Ron learnt the ins and outs of the trade and established great contacts and friendships.
Working in the company since the age of 17, his son Andrew took over the business in the early 80’s. Andrew maintains that the biggest challenge since taking over is computerization, technology and the rise of importing which has increased competitiveness in the market place. As a specialty wholesaler, his motto is, “you make it, we’ll sell it.” Ron Disney Sales prides itself on its ownership of products. The company distributes to major hardware retailers such as Bunning’s, Danks, Mitre 10 and independent traders. Therefore we proudly support all Australian manufacturers with over 70% of total sales generated from Australian made products and our emphasis is on niche marketing and not the generic brands. Our distribution is now fully national with warehouses outside Melbourne offering full services to each section of our trade. With nearly 40 years in the industry, Ron Disney Sales continues to service the hardware trade with an excellent level of customer service.
