Professional Experience
Wendy joined Cubic Promote in March 2010 as a Production Manager, giving her firsthand experience of how branded merchandise moves from approved artwork through production to final delivery. Her role involved coordinating with suppliers, managing production timelines, checking order requirements and helping resolve issues that could affect quality or delivery.

She worked directly with customers on product selection, branding requirements, order coordination and delivery planning, including projects for organisations such as Westpac and Rio Tinto.
In 2018, Wendy became General Manager. She now oversees day-to-day operations while remaining closely involved in production, supplier coordination, staff support and complex client orders.
