Managing at Blue Autumn Ltd
Ireland
James Morley is the owner and founder of Blue Autumn Ltd. A successful manufacturer and distributor of work wear, specialising in the supply of uniform clothing for the healthcare and catering industries.
He has managed his own business for the last 16 years from his early twenties onwards. Having begun his working life as a work study practitioner for Albion Clothing, at one time Ireland's largest and oldest clothing manufacturer.
Starting with nothing, he now produces under his own brand 'Blue Autumn '. This brand was initially produced in his own factory in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, until April 2004, after which time a decision was taken to relocate to Eastern Europe. Our factory is now located in North East Romania, in the city of Iasi.
Using the i-trader internet based e suite of products, I'm able to access on line all my business applications through a secure server from anywhere in the world. This is cutting edge 21st century business software, which I believe is the future for the modern global enterprise. It is the complete business solution on line. Incorporating contact management, e mail, data storage, purchase ledgers, sales ledgers and accounts, all on-line.
During the past year, I have spent my free time renovating my newly acquired home located on shores of Belfast Lough with the boundary of the front garden being the waters edge, in one of the most affluent areas of Northern Ireland, from which Belfast city centre is a 10 minute journey .
My current aims are to increase my business sales yet further through the use of the internet, to enable life to be lived. Travelling more becomes possible with the freedom brought about by the internet and the i-trader business software , enabling me to be free, running my business from anywhere in the world. Just imagine !!!!
My skill, I believe lies in production and industrial management.
I love to be in a industrial setting hearing the sounds of busy machines, knowing work is happening.
