Today Greymouse celebrates its 12th year in business. What a journey it has been! Most people in our teams today have little idea what went down in the early years of Greymouse. I could never forget.
Greymouse Turns 12: Celebrating Our Purpose, Pressing On With Our Mission
Published by: Marisa Wiman | 8 May, 2017
On the 1st of May, 2005, it was a Sunday, Kelvin flew to Fiji, across the sea, with a suitcase full of bits and pieces to open our office in Fiji. I on the other hand was walking around the Caloundra Markets giving out our pamphlets.
Why did we do it? How did we do it? Where did we get our strength? That is the simple part: we had a very solid “why”.
We wanted to alleviate poverty. We wanted to be part of a cause bigger than ourselves.
The journey is the difficult part. Monday the 8th arrived (2005), our Grand Opening day! We were ready for business. We were really looking for the phone to ring, and it didn’t. Not that day and not for the next 8 months!
Looking back, I could clearly remember the thought of quitting. It would have been very easy. Why bother, at least we tried, right?
But the idea never thrived in our minds. We were set to succeed. The company is beyond earning money. It was not just a business idea. It was living for a purpose. Purpose and passion are not ordinary success drivers. Purpose sees the good in very dire situations.
Rozeleen was Greymouse’s first IT support person. One desk, one chair, one phone. That was it for our ‘grand’ opening. Today we have dozens of people in our offices serving hundreds of clients all over the world. And we are still growing!
We had an amazing journey, but the 12th year is just a marker in our company history. This is the perfect time to look back and celebrate the things that were achieved. This is also the best time to look forward. We have a better vantage point now. We can see further out and I see a wonderful future.
Let us continue to change lives through transformational employment. Let us continue to help businesses succeed. This is our call, our purpose. Let’s press on! Here’s to 12 more years of believing, persisting, and succeeding!
