Director
The Right Side of Our Brain

Melissa has over 12 years experience within the promotional marketing industry; she
has worked for both suppliers and distributors and experienced both sides of the coin
so to speak! Affectionately referred to as “ high standards” in our office, Mel certainly
pushes everyone to achieve the very best they can from each and every day. Pushing
boundaries is what Mel is best at, her rapid flow of ideas is difficult for your everyday
layman to keep up with but her strong and trusty team wouldn’t have it any other
way. She currently holds the position of Secretary on the APPA Northern Region
Board, a responsibility which she handles with professionalism and efficiency.

Alex Muddle
Director
The Left Side of Our Brain

The sensible, practical & logical, yet never boring, driving force of Rippin Threads is Alex.
He brings with him over 6 years experience in Sales and Marketing, always thinking about
our next strategic move Alex keeps the family focused and on target. Sales forecasts, KPIs,
P & L Statements are somewhat a foreign language to the rest of us but Alex is driven by percentages! Having worked with Mel in the past the two have come together to create this amazing collaborative and it is one hell of a partnership, perfectly paired bringing opposite elements to the business, the two have created a company to be reckoned with.

When he is not working closely on the figures he is out in the surf rippin it up!
