Breaking Bread – Toby Bensimon – Shiels & Grahams Jewellers
Little Black Book:
The Entrepreneur’s Podcast
Season 1, Episode 12
Join us in the recording booth with the Managing Director of Transworld Enterprises – Toby Bensimon – as we discuss how a culture of bravery established at childhood set the scene for future entrepreneurship.
Transworld Enterprises is the parent company of two well-known Australian brands: Shiels (established 1945) and Grahams Jewellers (established 1932).
Toby shares the importance of ‘breaking bread’ and how social interactions create a relaxed environment for the generation of great ideas. He talks us through how he and his father successfully managed the transfer of their business between generations, and how his COVID crisis management team navigated lockdowns and the turmoil of a pandemic.
We also talk about the significance of having a strong online presence and how their pre-COVID vision set the scene for huge growth.
