In 2004 after 18 years of
developing and expanding The Australian Bush Hat Company,
to a position where its name and product became a
by-word for quality and style the world over, the
founder of The Australian Bush Hat Co. Robert K. Murrie
retired from the company passing on his legacy to
the capable hands of our new company director Patrick
Healy. After a seamless handover in 2004 Patrick has
continued in the same vain seeing no need to change
a winning formula. Patrick is bringing the company
into the 21st century employing the newest designs
with the latest technology, incorporating our own
in house design team and brand new export division.
With his extensive experience in the UK and Europe
Patrick has also increased exports by over 1000%.
While not losing site of our core customers the great
Australian public, we have increased our coverage
in 2005/2006 with over 100 new outlets in Western
Australia alone. We are proud to say our hats have
found a home in locations as diverse as an outback
cattle station in the Northern Territories right through
to the elite royal family circle.
Here at the Australian Bush Hat Company we pride ourselves
on making the best quality genuine leather bush hats
on the market. With our focus based not only on practicality,
but also the latest fashion. We are constantly developing
new hats, updating and expanding our range.
We have recently expanded into the international market
place with the formation of the Australian Bush Hat
Company UK to service the ever-increasing demand in
the United Kingdom and Europe for our Australian Bush
hats.
Australia has been and
will always remain our fundamental and core market
place and by year-end 2007 we will have achieved our
aim of 1000 new outlets Australia wide
