In this first episode of Handpicked, Naomi sits down to chat with Kerrie from Merino Country. Passionate about Australian manufacturing, yet facing the challenges of growing because finding skilled team members is increasingly difficult. After nearly three decades this can be exhausting for any owner.

Kerrie and her husband manufacture garments using Australian Merino textiles in regional Queensland and whilst the business is booming she asks the question is she the right person to take the business on the next wave of growth?

This is a wonderful Australian business story with plenty of laughs, whilst asking the tough business questions.
