Five minutes with our Australian team
This is Bethan and Joe.
They're looking pretty good, aren't they? Not just pretty faces, these two are responsible for growing Triumph & Disaster in Australia to the brand you love today. Despite living cities apart (Beth's in Sydney, Joe's in Melbourne), the duo speak on the phone every day to keep T&D growing.
And they're great at what they do.
We took five minutes with both Joe and Bethan, so you can get to know them better. We know you'll love them as much as we do.
