PART SIX - An Acknowledgement

Qualcast came to Australia because it understood a business proposition from
the Australian Government. Australia, after all, was the biggest customer of
Qualcast mowers outside of England.

UK lawnmower companies clearly didn't like these harsh restrictions. But, the tariffs
did not apply to powered lawnmowers, only to sidewheels, and the company most
affected was therefore Qualcast. It met the challenge in creating Qualcast Australia.

Prior to Qualcast Australia, Qualcast was managed by the agency of Gibbs Bros.
of 209a Castlereigh Street, Sydney, and also with Melbourne offices. Thanks to
their efforts, Qualcast was an establish name in Australia before the important
announcement. Gibbs Brothers would continue to be agents and distributors.

In summary, the directors of Qualcast clearly saw the issues:
Their largest overseas market - with potential to grow - would be lost without
direct action in commencing Australian production.
