Staff Profiles

Outback Whips and Leather was started in 2002 by Ron and Liz Hill.   The business was started with a genuine focus on customer service and quality products.

Before opening the doors Ron and Liz compiled a list of things that they disliked about the way the larger, highly commercial stores did business.   Mostly they disliked the lack of customer service and care for their customers’ needs.   With this list as a guide Ron and Liz have built a team that shares these values.

The Outback Whips and Leather team have created an Award Winning business with a reputation for quality products and old fashioned customer service.

Ron

Ron is the owner and the “bosses” husband.   Ron is the saddler and whipmaker in the business and works from the Red Cliffs store and workshop.   His two great passions are leatherwork and traditional bush heritage.  These he combines to make a range of traditional bush leather goods.

Ron is the ideas and creative person in the business who comes up with great ideas and creates headaches for the rest of the team.

 

Liz

Liz is the other owner (the boss) and is responsible for the overall management of the business.
