A TRIBUTE TO OUR FOUNDER

GARRY AUSTIN

3 FEBRUARY 1949 - 5 JANUARY 2019

GAZMAN founder, Garry Austin, passed away peacefully at home on the 5th January 2019. He was just 69 years old and only one month shy of his 70th birthday.

The outpouring of heart felt messages and stories of Garry’s generosity, acts of kindness, fun-loving spiritand passion for life, have given us great comfort and strength during this time.

A larger than life character, Garry was driven by the desire to create clothing that men felt comfortable in and looked good wearing, no matter the occasion. He believed in providing great value products without compromising on quality.

Garry’s determination and passion to succeed were magnetising. His ability to foster lasting relationships and lead the way was truly inspiring. Throughout his business life this focus never wavered, enabling GAZMAN to grow into the brand it is today.

He loved his stores… He loved his employees…And he loved his customers…

I have had the privilege of working closely alongside Dad for the past 20 years.It is my passion and strong desire to continue Dad’s legacy and take the brand forwardin his honour and memory.

Sincerely,Will Austin, CEO
