Manuel Becvar’s professional career started in 1998 when he worked for Austria’s biggest DIY retailer (bauMax). He moved to Hong Kong in 2005 when he was offered a position as an intern to work for one of the biggest Sourcing Offices in Hong Kong.

They need to be at the highest standard and quality. These retailers cannot afford to have a product re-call due to quality problems or defective components. These products need to be top-notch.

In those 10 years he got to know all the standards and product requirements there are and additionally gained a lot of experience and insight working with factories in China.

In the busiest seasons (April & October), Ihe was accompanying up to 30 Buyers within a month to exhibitions, factories and showrooms to help negotiate, develop products and follow up the Buyer’s requests after they were gone.

He now has an Import/Export company based in Hong Kong.

Harold Graycar is an experienced executive with a broad background in information technology, business development and general management.

His degrees are in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the University of Sydney, Australia. In addition to his numerate and analytic skills, Harold’s ability to communicate and work with personnel from non-technical backgrounds makes him a valuable contributor to multi-disciplinary projects, and an effective business trainer.

He has had over 25 years’ experience in technical, commercial and general management roles: advising corporate and government clients on project funding, models and strategies for business development, procurement of equipment and services and outsourcing of systems and operations — all based around business analysis and numerate skills.

Harold has been a “power user” and developer of Excel applications since the product was launched, and has developed a number of Excel modelling tools for financial applications, workforce planning, HR profile analysis and transaction logging.

Harold has presented executive-level Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Business Modelling sessions for public groups and individual client organisations in Australia, Brunei, China, Malaysia, Macao, Philippines and Singapore. The focus is always on how to increase productivity with better hands-on numerate and information presentation skills.

Note from Harold:
“My courses are all about the important numbers that drive business: I try to make learning about them interesting and to help participants discover the strengths of their own capabilities.”
