Barry Jackson
Co-Founder
Barry Jackson
Co-Founder
In the 1990’s, Barry worked as a salesman in Cairns representing other companies’ products. When there became a shortage in supply and he was unable to provide stock to his customers, Barry acted on this gap in the market. He originally contracted another manufacturer to produce his specially-formulated cosmetic and cleaning products for supply into childcare, education, and industrial sectors.Barry soon found that lead times on products were being extended and again ran into supply issues. Necessity drives innovation and soon enough, Barry and Sue brought their manufacturing in-house.
Barry is proud to see how far Concept Labs has come over the decades with both its own product range and as a contract manufacturer. He is now semi-retired, but the team loves seeing his friendly face whenever he comes by to lend a helping hand.
