He said with a smile, “I was welcomed so well by the RYCO team, everyone was so friendly, easy to deal with in the warehouse and office, with not too much pressure along the way”. Slavco continued, “I still enjoy my early morning coffee and a newspaper routine arriving 40 minutes prior to a busy day at my desk”.

As Slavco added, “I pride myself on a proven score of 99% accuracy on orders”, to ensure our customers get the products and solutions they ordered, on time.  As Slavco remembers his biggest achievement on the job – the order from Houston for a Food and Beverage client which included 42 pallets of RYCO hoses and fittings.

During his 30 years of service at RYCO, Slavco has encountered many successes along with a few challenges along the way. The technological innovations introduced by RYCO did at first present learning curves such as conducting stocktakes within a RYCO Warehouse are different to the stocktakes conducted on a RYCO 24•7 mobile service vehicle but Slavco has adapted quickly and is still very much eager to learn and develop his skillset.

What is more, Slavco received a diploma in Sociology and Philosophy back in Belgrade. He is also a secretary of the Macedonian community and organising various international food festivals in Melbourne. Did you also know Slavco plays soccer, and his favourite AFL team is Essendon!
