Marion Hera-Gorr
Is
a self-confessed confirmed silkaholic. She enjoys textiles and garments
as an art form, and expresses her feelings for nature and beauty
using these wonderful silk fabrics and colour dyes. But why does
she get up two hours before dawn to post little bundles of silk to
others like herself, who are simply enjoying life and creating beautiful
works?
Peter Lucena
Was
trading silk with the Chinese well before Nixon was playing ping-pong
with them. With over 40 years' experience in trading textiles
with the Chinese, Peter is one of the most knowledgable "China
hands" in
the textile industry worldwide. Peter has supplied Chinese textiles
right around the globe, and knows which of the thousands of factories
in China is producing which product, whether a raw material,
fabric or finished item at which price. Peter and Janet Lucena own SENTOSA TEXTILES, in Auckland New Zealand, as well as providing valuable input to the Beautiful Silks management team.
Peter is demonstrably Australasia's most senior
textiles trader and a proud partner in Beautiful Silks.
Jon Yaakov Gorr (the elephant)
Formerly the owner of a successful commercial
solicitor's firm for over 12 years, the elephant now plans the business
development of the partnership and manages the technical side of
the business. His practical knowledge and business experience have

business. In particular, he has brought business skills to the

business planning to scompany secretarial duties and foreign currency
trading to contract administration. The elephant is an experienced
business mentor for operators of small new businesses in the textile
industry and operates the Beautiful Silks Business Mentoring Program
