A LOCAL family-owned business is celebrating 30 years in the wetsuit industry and are happier than ever.
Local business, Zee Wetsuits, has been a Noosa icon for over 20 years after its humble beginnings in Torquay, Victoria, in 1996.
Owners Bernie and Cheanene Filer said the weather in Victoria led them to make the move to sunny Noosa over 20 years ago and they have loved it here ever since.
“We were fed up with the weather in Victoria so we brought the whole operation up here,” Bernie said.
The wetsuit business is locally owned and produces locally made wetsuits right here in Noosa for everyone whether they surf religiously or just duck out for the occasional wave.
Zee Wetsuits offer personalised service with custom-made wetsuits available to suit your needs and will even repair your current wetsuit, no matter the brand, making it a one-stop shop for all your wetsuit needs.
Cheanene said the secret to a successful business was their focus on great customer service and looking after everyone’s specific needs.
“People can come in to see us and we can help to get them exactly what they need and get the right fit,” Cheanene said.
The local business, which supplies Zee Wetsuits Australia-wide, has started their 30th year with a bang after sending a shipment of wetsuits overseas to kick-start the company’s international market takeover.
But Cheanene and Bernie said their attention will always stay focused on their home-grown market and enjoyed seeing Noosa locals grow up in their Zee wetsuits.
“Kids who used to come in to be fitted for a wetsuit are now grown up and bringing their kids in,” Cheanene said.
“We’ve been doing it for 30 years and we’re still having fun and enjoying it,” Bernie said.
