Welcome to Presentos.
Thanks for taking the time to join us here. Perhaps it is best if we introduce ourselves…
- Who are we and why are we here?
The co-owners of Presentos are ex-sailors (and their wives while not ex-sailors, have put up with their husbands for so long they deserve campaign medals of their own). Our goal is to provide lasting and durable mementos commemorating service and events that are significant in the lives of our customers.
Since departing the Grey Funnel Line, Sean and Bob have worked in numerous careers and most recently, both have served as ambulance officers in a state based service.
When it became possible to acquire the significant historical masters and molds from Townsend Productions (proud suppliers to the RAN, sailors and collectors for over thirty years), Sean and Bob took the opportunity to again connect with their navy days and continue the fine work of Tom and Anne Woodhouse by taking their quality work and continuing the tradition.
In this next phase of the manufacture of ships badges, Sean, Petrina, Bob and Fiona are looking to innovate and spread the principles of utilising, where possible, only Australian made products in the design and construction of their fine ships badges and other products. It will be with more than a nod to the traditions of the Royal Australian Navy and those who are, and have served, this country.
We look forward to developing our craftmanship and sharing our passion for mementos and history.
Great to see Naval traditions continuing, and a passing of the baton to fellow matelots. Well done Sean, Petrina, Bob and Fiona for taking the weight. Aye, Mick
