Who we are ....Hi there, I’m Deb McGennisken, based in Warragul and am Manager of Scribex with particular interest and responsibilities in marketing and client services. In addition to providing the more creative and artistic input of the team, I am mostly involved in design and production of all our products.

I’m Bruce Bremner, based in Traralgon, and am Manager, Production and Systems. I look after the more mundane administration, company records, bookkeeping and production tasks (which Debbie is too creative and impatient to do)! However, Debbie and I work very well as a team, and have done so in our present structure since 1997. Speak with Deb or myself about your particular job. We work long strange hours, so don’t be afraid to contact us out of business hours.

HistoryNow for a bit of a history lesson, if you’re interested! Deb is an ‘old’ Methodist Ladies College girl of Kew. She spent her later primary years and all her secondary years there. She then went onto Tertiary Business studies and holds a ‘very old’ Business Diploma. She then went on to working mainly as a Personal Assistant for top management in various fields. Prior to migrating to Gippsland her "fave" jobs were at Yellow Pages, when they were in Cadbury Schweppes House St. Kilda Road, working for the Marketing Manager (a 100 years ago), and PA to a Director of Young and Rubicam (now joined with George Paterson), international advertising agency. Debbie commenced Scribex Business Services as a ‘sole trader’ business in inner city Melbourne, first registering the business on the 11th of November 1986! (as a very young girl)! In 1989 due to family commitments she transported the business to Traralgon, where it operated highly successfully in an era when word-processing and support services in the Latrobe Valley were in high demand. She opened a shop front in Breed Street Traralgon and set-up a serviced office environment with three other in-house businesses. Debbie acted as Receptionist and performed all secretarial/printing tasks for these businesses, whilst still having the flexibility and independence to attend to her ‘outside’ clients. Deb sold the business in 1991 shortly before her daughter, Rachel was born, but retained the business name. In 1997, Debbie started the business again - when Rachel commenced school. Strangely enough, in the very same Breed Street shop as she occupied before. But this time, Debbie was joined by Bruce (her friend and technical guru), who had just taken an early retirement from Monash University Campus Churchill. Bruce was a 20 veteran of Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education, later becoming Monash, and held the position of Registrar for a long period of time. He holds another very old computing qualification and is experienced in forms design, records management systems analysis, and management practices generally. Bruce has always been the ‘bits and bolts’ nitty-gritty person of Scribex, wanting to know absolutely everything about anything, and Deb the more ‘creative-lateral thinker’ concentrating on just what needs to be done by when, and on the K.I.S.S. principle. We are proud to say we have never broken a deadline on any of our jobs over the years, and this is largely due to the above paragraph! Mind you, the two personalities are just as important, and we’ve made a great team over considerable years. We operated the shopfront until 30 June 2003, when Bruce’s regular dialysis treatments made it more difficult to maintain the shop. However, Scribex has continued to operate smoothly from respective fully equipped home offices in Traralgon (Bruce) and Callignee (Deb) since then, with Debbie moving to Warragul in 2004. |
